This Is How You FallThis Is How You Fall
Jacob Cameron Asprey, Jr., is the charming son of a charming crook who's currently residing in the state pen. Strangled by family ties, Jake is barely scraping by, working as a lifeguard at the tony country club on the other side of town. He's marking time, treading water, haunted by Sally Godstreet, the woman he's loved all his life--the woman he should have made a life with, now orbiting just out his reach. When a local crime boss offers him a deal he'd be a fool to take and a chump to pass up, Jake sees a way out of his troubles--until his options begin to close down, and he finds himself at the heart of a dark plot that will place those he loves in harm's way.
“Exceptional writing, utterly engaging characters, and a story that shifts between thrilling, heartbreaking, and hilarious before its final poignant ending.” — Olen Steinhauer, New York Times bestselling author of The Tourist
