With his physical prowess and the financial backing of his former lover's family Kane's sorrow turned to action, and he is resolved to fight back against anyone, anywhere who dares to challenge the dreams of gay men. In Deadly Lies, Kane knows politics is a dirty business, filled with dirty lies. The dirt becomes deadly in Minneapolis/St. Paul when rampant political smearing and corruption turn toward unscrupulous politicians' easiest targets: gay men. With his lover and sidekick Danny Fortelli, Alex comes to protect the dreams - and lives - of gay men imperiled by the lies and deceit that threaten to tear them apart. Together they can generate the heat needed to burn away the political trash in Minnesota - and anywhere else it endangers the dreams of gay men.

But he never counted on the resolve of Alex Kane, a proud and fearless man devoted to the defense of gay dreams and desires everywhere. Alex and his lover Danny take the Texan head-on.
