Something’s wrong at Delaware Grange. It’s in the earth, the water. Nothing grows right, and nobody knows why.
Except Matt.
The boy with the wrong name.
He’s hidden the truth and contained the damage. For seven years, he’s struggled to balance the man wrestling the ugly reality underground with the harmless boy tending the pheasants in the meadows above.
That boy was a fantasy.
Until he grew up, and became the man Sofia loves. Now the only thing Matt is sure of is her.
He had a mission, but he wants a life. With her.
Sofia thought she understood. That she’d forgiven Matt for being a lie. But that was the easy part. Loving him once she understands what the lies were built to protect will be far harder. Because Delaware Grange isn’t just failing. It’s rotting from poison and secrets that have been leaching into the soil for decades.
All Matt wants is to protect the family that took him in, raised him, loved him. But protection, to Matt, is what the Company taught him: clandestine control.
Violence.
Matt keeps trying to hold it all together.
Sofia’s hell-bent on exposing the whole mess.
Until she realises the burden of carrying the secret, and the risk of revealing it to the world. Every answer Sofia uncovers drags her deeper into Matt’s underworld. It’s a place he was built to survive, and she was never supposed to witness. The people Matt works for are ruthless. But they never thought to wonder what would happen if the man they made to be a deadly solution realised the problem…
Was them.
That Man is a dual POV, secret identity romantic suspense about two people obsessively in love, trying to survive long enough to claim a future together. Their story started in secret because their love was forbidden. Now it must stay hidden because Matt’s world wants to bury them and everyone they care about.
If you’ve read Nightshade, you think you know what happened.
You’re wrong.
