Undone by Deceit
Falon Gold - 2017
The reason for one of his decisions made when he was just a boy was a mystery that Mahogany Jefferson could never solve. However, he had no way of knowing that his fierce determination would become a fatal flaw, turn his closely guarded secret into a breeding ground for deceit, and push Mahogany’s love for him to a breaking point. Chance wasn’t surprised when it snapped completely or when she packed her bags. He let her go, well aware that she can be counted on for two things: doing what she thought was right and bouncing back when things went sideways. Her troubled past and heartbreaking present unbeknownst to him demanded she be tough, but a recent tragedy just may break her. Her belongings weren’t all she took with her when she left. Thinking she was doing the right thing for everyone, now she had a secret of her own and it was always only a matter of time before things went left. That was the story of Mahogany’s life and to right things again, she had only one option: call on Chance, which required her to reveal an accident that elevated many lives to a level he never wanted to exist on. His reaction might just be incendiary, but the mystery of Chance will be unraveled at last. No one will be exempt from heartache, heartbreak, and being let down. Love will be tested. Lines will be crossed. Lives will be endangered. Blood will be spilled. Everyone will learn what they're truly made of. Happily-ever-afters will. Be. Fought. For. *No cliffhanger.
