Author's Summary: A bitter and distrustful former television journalist, forced out of a job that he loved and defined him is in search of some sort of revenge by writing his memoirs. His agent sets him up with a co author who is a former democratic speech writer and once rising PR star that disappeared from politics without explanation almost two years ago. Both men have secrets; both have reasons not to trust, but writing a book together means they have to learn to get past the anger and hurt and find a way to work together. It's not easy. It's not pretty. And sometimes it's just flat out dangerous. Bit by bit cracks start to appear in the walls they've built to protect themselves and they're shocked to discover the growing feelings they have for each other. When the secrets start to be unearthed and threaten to damage one or both of them, they have to find something deep within themselves to love before they can begin to love and protect someone else.
