He knew every move. He never expected to lose his words. Marcus has mastered the game. Different women, different apartments, and the same hollow feeling every morning. He’s good at being wanted. He’s never been good at being known. Then, in the middle of an ordinary week, a woman walks into a barbershop and he’s left speechless for the first time in his life. Everything he rehearsed falls apart. To win her, Marcus has to unlearn the rules he built his life on, and face what’s underneath them: the first heartbreak that taught him love was a lie, and the fear that he was never worthy of the real thing. Told in Marcus’s own voice, The Keys is a funny, honest and tender love story about a man who stops performing and starts showing up. It follows him through four parts: The Game, The Princess, The Lover and The Proof. Along the way come the sweet moments, the people who doubt him, the ones who envy him, and the moment when it all gets tested. If you love contemporary romance with heart, banter and a hero who has to earn his happy ending, this one is for you. For everyone who ever thought they weren’t worthy of love. You are. You just haven’t met the person who’ll prove it yet.
