Fighting Lies — Kellie Perkins

Keeva O'Brien is in love with her brother's killer. She tried to deny it, tried to fight it, but he became an addiction she just couldn't shake. She gave up everything to hide with him, to save him from a group of thugs trying to extract money he owed to a loan shark from pockets that were forever empty. She hid with him, ran with him, helped him train for an MMA tournament that might, finally, allow him to move beyond his past and start a future with her. That was, until she learned he was married.



One too many lies.Keeva has finally come to a place where she knows she cannot be with Nash, she cannot let Nash or Marshall or any of the other people in her life tell her what she should and should not do. Keeva has to grow up and begin living her own life, not the life her brother planned for her, not the life Nash wanted to share with her, not even the life her friend, Marshall, thought would make her happy. She has to embrace her own future, shape it in her own way.



As Keeva begins her own journey, Nash struggles to fix past mistakes. Their paths cross time and again, but both finally come to the realization that their futures lie in two different places, in two different worlds. Will Keeva be able to become the person she wants to be and still make room for Nash? Will Nash be able to extricate himself from a marriage he never wanted and never should have committed to in order to be the man Keeva needs him to be? Will their worlds collide, or will truth and reality continue to pull them apart?
