Bruised by Your Tears
An LGBTQ+ Romantic Suspense Novel of Love, Betrayal, and Hidden Identities

Some people love you. Some people want you. Discovering the difference can break your heart.

Dominic Wells thought he understood love.

Successful, ambitious, and respected, Dominic has spent years building the life he always dreamed of. Yet despite everything he has accomplished, one thing continues to elude him: a lasting connection with someone willing to truly see him.

Then he meets Kei Alaric.

Charming, attentive, and seemingly perfect, Kei enters Dominic’s life like a dream come true. For the first time in a long time, Dominic allows himself to believe in something more than career success and routine. Swept away by romance, passion, and promises of a future together, he begins to imagine a life built on trust, devotion, and love.

But not everyone is convinced.

His closest friends, Curtis Canton and Jasmine Fay, can’t shake the feeling that something isn’t right. Questions begin to surface. Small inconsistencies become harder to ignore. The deeper Dominic falls in love, the more the people around him fear he may be falling into something far more dangerous.

As relationships are tested and hidden truths begin to emerge, Dominic finds himself caught between what he wants to believe and the reality unfolding around him. What begins as a love story slowly transforms into a journey through heartbreak, obsession, loyalty, friendship, betrayal, healing, and survival.

Along the way, Dominic discovers that some secrets don’t simply change relationships.

They destroy them.

And some people aren’t who they claim to be.

When the walls around his world begin to crumble, Dominic must decide who deserves his trust, who deserves his heart, and whether love can survive after every hidden door has finally been opened.

Bruised by Your Tears is an emotionally gripping LGBTQ+ romantic drama layered with psychological suspense, unforgettable friendships, devastating betrayal, found family, and powerful emotional twists.

This is a story about the masks people wear, the futures they imagine, and the difficult truth that loving someone is not the same as possessing them.

It’s the truth that was waiting for you all along.
