Thomas Mulvaney was just a child when an error in judgment cost him everything. He vowed then that he would do anything to atone for his mistake. And he did. He never strayed from the right path. Until Aiden.
Aiden Mulvaney doesn’t exist. He’s a lie created by the father who disowned him and by Thomas Mulvaney, the only man Aiden had ever begged to love him. But that was years ago, when he’d still believed in fairytales. Before Thomas rejected him.
Thomas has spent years trying to have Aiden in his life while keeping him at arm's length, but Aiden’s done with half-measures. He’s done with Thomas the martyr. He’s just done. So, he’s kept his distance. Trouble is, now, someone is threatening to expose a secret that affects them all.
No, not that one. A secret so shameful, Thomas won’t even utter it out loud. Can he and Aiden revisit the past and keep the family name intact, or will they both be buried beneath the weight of their memories as their old feelings resurface?

ONLEY JAMES lives in North Carolina with her daughter, her daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and a menagerie of animals, both good and evil. James splits her time between writing m/m romance and mainlining dangerous levels of caffeine and attempting to maintain her ever-slipping sanity.
When not at her desk, you can find her whining about how much writing she has to do while avoiding said writing by binge-watching unhealthy amounts of television and doom scrolling on social media. She loves true crime documentaries, anti-heroes, and writing kinky, snarky books about morally gray men who fall in love with other men.

Liam DiCosimo, a modern seanachaí, or Irish Folk storyteller, comes from the long tradition of using a wide range of conventions, styles of speech and gestures that were particular to the Irish folk tradition that helped characterize them as practitioners of their art. Renowned for their expansive repertoires, captivating voices, and commanding presence, the tales of the seanachaí were passed from one practitioner to another without ever being written down, allowing the storyteller to relive the story in their own words and immerse their audience in the adventure.
Liam’s performance experience began on the stage during primary and secondary school musical productions, and progressed to his enrollment at The Crane School of Music, a top five music conservatory in the US, to over a decade traveling the country as a musician performing on MTV’s TRL, The Bamboozle Festival and Vans Warped Tour as the lead singer of the band, Honor Bright.
Eventually in 2013, he made the transition into podcasting and has worked as a host on his own podcast as well as a creative consultant for over 1,000 other podcasts with his best friend, Tim Paige at MakeMyIntro.com
Having parlayed his skills as an entertainer, Liam began work as a voice over actor and narrator, finding his true love and passion in the pages of literature just waiting to be brought to life.
