Casualty

Isaiah Cason is a man of means. His movements are calculated, which has earned him respect and success while he smoothly navigates the light and dark. It only makes sense that matters of the heart follow the same blueprint, but he finds himself submerged in a complicated connection of deception and disloyalty.

Lake Patterson learned early in life that family can be your biggest downfall. With the secrets she keeps locked away, Lake finds it impossible to stay grounded and maintain any semblance of happiness. Trying to navigate and survive in the world alone, Lake’s only goal is to keep her head above water. There is little to no room for anything else.

When Lake and Isaiah’s worlds collide, they both feel a pull that can’t be overlooked nor denied. They are forced to open up in ways neither of them deemed possible, but life has a way of denying happiness, even to those who are most deserving.

You can’t always break the ties that bind, no matter how much your heart longs to be free. Casualties sometimes can’t be avoided, regardless of how pure the intentions of the heart.
