Robin Stevenson - Author
A relationship-focused story about the consequences of concealment. Derek’s online romance, employment lie and encounter with Aaliyah bring honesty, trust, depression, weight gain and responsibility into the same personal dilemma.
Derek thinks he might be falling in love. The problem is, he hasn’t been entirely honest with his on-line boyfriend. Derek sent Ethan a photo taken before he got depressed and gained eighty pounds. Derek hasn’t been honest with his employer either. When he lied about his age and experience to get a job with disabled adults, the last thing he expected was to meet a woman like Aaliyah. Smart, prickly and often difficult, Aaliyah challenges Derek’s ideas about honesty and trust. Derek has to choose whether to risk telling the truth, or to give up the most important relationship in his life.
