Smoking Confessions

To say Adrian Parker has trust issues would be an understatement, but he has good cause. Barely escaping the clutches of his biological family, he found refuge in the caring of his adopted family who helped him grow to become a respectable human. Little did he know that he'd have to keep a secret and risk losing all the people he loved, his adopted family that swore off keeping secrets of any kind, even though he kept them for the woman he loved more than anything. If only the woman he loved wasn't the very reason his life might implode. Sharon Pryce never meant to fall for the man who helped her move forward after devastating and life-changing violence, but together they just worked, and despite her constantly ending the relationship prematurely; she knows Adrian Parker is the one for her. When her only child is involved in an accident, leaving him severely injured, it's Adrian who steps in to help both heal once again. While they consider a future, they know a secret they share could break their familial bonds and cause Adrian's family to turn against him. Is a second chance worth it, or should they leave well enough alone?
