Trey Walker has one major flaw as far as he's concerned: he impulsively falls in love too easily and too often. That reckless impulse resulted in several failed relationships, not to mention the implosion of his marriage. And what's the best way to ensure you don't make that mistake again? That's easy. You shrug off relationships for good.

And it was working for him.

Right up until it wasn't.

Trey was on a winning streak until fate threw him a curveball eighteen months ago when he crossed paths with Magnus Storme, the smoking hot, ridiculously persistent twenty-four-year-old owner of Camp K-9. Using the 12-year age gap as an excuse, Trey managed to resist Magnus ... for about a minute. Did he mention Magnus was persistent? His first mistake was taking Magnus home, thinking one night with him would get the man out of his system. One night turned into two, then a week, a month, two...

After a year, Trey still adamantly denied falling for Magnus, which meant he wasn't only lying to Magnus, he was lying to himself.

Just when Trey's life seems to be cruising along the right track, another unexpected turn arrives, this time in the form of a woman from Magnus's past. Only Ava March isn't just any woman, she's one Magnus has a history with, and now Ava needs him.

Trey has to make a decision: live in denial and walk away from the man he loves or accept that his feelings are in direct contradiction to everything Trey thought he knew about himself.


This MMF romance can be read as a standalone; however, Trey, Magnus, and Ava's story picks up where things left off in Confessions from the Brantley Walker: Off the Books series.

Trigger warning: While this book is about love, healing, and perseverance, some readers may find the retelling of the physical abuse Ava suffered at the hands of her husband difficult to read.
