A year after the collapse of his ten-year relationship, Kevin Shepard returns to San Francisco from a self-imposed exile in New York, hoping distance has dulled the edges of heartbreak. Instead, he finds himself pulled back into the orbit of familiar friends and unresolved grief.
Trying to move forward, Kevin finds himself drawn to Dylan Bennett, whose warmth and sincerity offer the possibility of something new. But when secrets surface—tied to betrayal, loyalty, and a past that refuses to stay buried—Kevin is forced to confront the patterns that have shaped his life and the defenses he’s spent years constructing.
Set against the backdrop of San Francisco and New York, Nobody Else is a story about love after loss, the damage left behind by silence, and the fragile hope of second chances. It explores what it means to forgive when forgiveness feels impossible—and whether two people can find their way back to each other after everything has gone wrong.
This revised edition has been extensively updated from the original 2013 publication.
The Byrne family has ruled Chicago’s North Side for three generations—until violence erupts thousands of miles away and threatens to tear them apart.
When James Byrne, the mob boss’s youngest son, is brutally attacked in San Diego, the fallout reaches Chicago fast. Tommy Byrne, newly installed as head of the family, wants to pull their empire out of the shadows and into legitimacy. His brother Enzo wants blood. Their mother and their father’s longtime consigliere want a return to the old ways—no matter the cost.
As Tommy sends men west to uncover the truth, the family’s internal power struggle turns lethal. A relentless detective and an ambitious reporter begin circling, unaware they’re stepping into a war already underway—one where loyalty is currency and mercy is fatal.
Jason McKenzie has money, loyal friends, and every opportunity ahead of him—but he remains suspended in a life he refuses to move beyond.
As the illusion of the life he’s been clinging to begins to crack, Jason finds himself drifting further from the people around him—and from a past he’s never fully faced. A new relationship falters, old bonds fracture, and the future he’s been avoiding becomes impossible to ignore.
Set in the early 1990s South, The Space Between is a novel about grief, desire, longing, and the quiet ways we deceive ourselves—until the truth can no longer be avoided.
