Description
A year has passed since Elijah left New York - and Dalton - behind. He's been living quietly with his father in Massachusetts, trying to forget the affair that nearly tore his family apart. But when Thomas is diagnosed with a serious illness, Elijah returns to the city that still smells like Dalton's skin, still echoes with the lies they told themselves. Dalton is a husband now. Lena's salon is finally opening. On the surface, everything appears stable. But beneath it, the cartel ties are tighter, the secrets are heavier, and the ghost of Elijah still lingers in every corner of their apartment. When Elijah and Dalton cross paths again, it's not by accident. One glance reignites what they buried - what never really died. But this time, the stakes are higher. The lies more dangerous. And some truths might not survive the telling. Because when love is forbidden and loyalty is a cage... Sometimes, the only way back is to lie again. ------------------------------- LGBTQ friendly 🏳️🌈 Soundtrack: Never Be The Same by Camila Cabello 🎶 Lie To Me Again ®
