I.O.U. (paperback)

I.O.U follows Paul James as he stands in the narrow space between who he was and who he is forced to become. What begins as a late night escape from pressure leads him to Nicole Parks, a woman who feels like relief in a season full of weight. Their connection is easy. Untangled. Until it is not.

As Paul tries to show up for everyone, he starts keeping score in his head. What he owes Nicole. What he owes Bri. What he owes his brothers. What he owes himself. The more he gives, the more the balance never feels right.

I.O.U is a story about responsibility, fractured love, and the quiet cost of trying to be everything for everyone, while losing sight of who you are becoming.
