Ink and Secrets

He never expected to fall for the one person who could destroy everything he's worked for.

Sal Vitale clawed his way from the rough streets of Brooklyn to a reporting job at Manhattan's most powerful newspaper. He can't afford to make mistakes. He definitely can't afford to want things he shouldn't have.
Then Julian Sterling walks into the newsroom.

Rich. Privileged. Everything Sal isn't. Jules is supposed to fail at journalism everyone expects the newspaper owner's nephew to crash and burn. But when Jules keeps showing up, keeps asking for help, keeps looking at Sal like he matters... well, that changes everything.

What starts as professional partnership becomes something far more dangerous.

Late nights in the empty newsroom. Stolen glances across crowded meetings. The way Jules says his name like it means something. Sal knows he's playing with fire, but he can't seem to stop.
In 1958, men like them don't get happy endings. They get arrested. They lose everything. They disappear.
But when Jules's family discovers their secret, the choice becomes impossible: love or survival, truth or safety, each other or everything else they've ever known.

Some secrets are worth the risk. Some loves are worth the fight.
