The Truth of Tristan Lyons

Heartbreaker.



I understand why I have the nickname. Hey, what can I say? I like women. All women. It doesn't matter what shape, size, or color. I'm even into sharing. I've done it all, seen it all, but I'm at an all-time low. Who wouldn't be? My best friend is missing. My uncle's an asshole. I don't know who I am without The Nights. We are a band of brothers, soldiering through the world with our music. Only, our faithful leader is gone, and everyone else in the band is falling for the oldest trap: love. Love is a lie. It is painful. It is hurtful.



I need a break. I want to be alone. I'm not prepared to share the exclusive home on the Island. I'm not prepared for her. I don't know who she is or why she's here. She tells me to call her Ireland. I tell her my first name only. Originally, I don't want to believe she doesn't recognize me. Bass guitarist for The Nights, come on? After a while we both play the game. Secrets are another form of lies, aren't they?



Our fantasy will crash to reality too soon. Secrets catch up to you. The truth has to be told. It confirms what I already know: love is a lie.



Until her.
