When the Truth Lies a novel by Timothy Michael Carson What happens when the lives of four individuals-all in pursuit of love, happiness, and success-collide and threaten to destroy everything they've worked so hard to achieve? Only the Truth knows. But what happens When the Truth Lies? Markus, a rising executive and self-proclaimed "playboy" trades in his business meetings by day for roaming the clubs at night. But is he in search of the woman of his dreams or simply someone to keep his nightmares at bay? When he thinks he's found The One, he must ask himself is she everything he's always needed or just a welcomed distraction from what he really wants. Brandon has big dreams of taking the music industry by storm as Atlanta's next mega producer. Focused, determined, and talented, he'll let nothing get in his way of reaching his goal. But when a new "love" piques his interest, will it be a sweet melody to his perfectly arranged life or a sour note too painful to bear? Uniyah, Brandon's protegee, is making sweet music of her own and is destined to be the singing sensation she's always dreamt of being. Success is within her grasp and the haters are on her heels. But she knows the price of fame and is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve it. That is, until a gentleman unlike any she's ever known breezes into her perfectly-guarded life and has her singing to the tune of "Real Love." But is there more to him than meets the eye? Tyrone is successful, sexy, single, but no longer satisfied. As he begins to search for love in all the wrong places, he finds what he's been looking for all along-himself. Yet, will the price of his "discovery" cost him too much and force those around him to pay as well? As they navigate the seductive streets of Atlanta and roam its sexy hotspots, these four individuals will take their biggest chance on finding something that's eluded them for far too long-true love. But will what they discover during their quests be a truth that sets them free or a truth that takes no prisoners? Only time will tell...When the Truth Lies.
