The Counterfeit

Tyson Anthony is brilliant, successful, and emotionally unavailable. A high-ranking cybersecurity executive with a sharp mind and a well-protected heart, Tyson has built a life that keeps feelings at arm’s length. But no amount of money or ambition can shield him from the memory of Skye Graber, the only woman who ever truly saw him. When Skye moved to Jamaica to pursue her dreams, Tyson let her go without protest. He told himself she would be better off without him. Now, a year later, fate places them on opposite sides of a work project. What begins as polite distance soon unearths unresolved tension, dormant feelings, and the ache of unfinished love.

Struggling with regret, Tyson begins writing letters he never intends to send. Raw. Honest. Vulnerable. Each one reveals the man he never showed Skye. But when those private words are leaked and go viral, Tyson becomes an anonymous voice for men struggling to say what their hearts truly feel. The world hangs on every sentence. And so does Skye. As the letters ignite a global conversation about love, forgiveness, and emotional truth, Tyson is forced to confront the past he buried. But when tragedy strikes and time runs out, he must decide if he is brave enough to claim his words, reveal his heart, and fight for the woman he never stopped loving.

The Words I Never Said is an intimate, emotionally rich story of heartbreak, healing, and the power of vulnerability. Blending sharp dialogue, authentic relationships, and unforgettable characters, this novel explores what it means for a man to speak from the heart—and what can happen when the world listens.
