Liar's Waltz — Becky Black

Bar owner Karl thinks his new lover is an ally in the fight to save Eternity -- the last gay bar on space station Saira. But Greg is actually a reluctant spy desperately trying to salvage his military career.

Firmly-closeted Lieutenant Greg Matthews takes a transfer to space station Saira to make a fresh start. But a rogue military intelligence officer has discovered Greg's secret and forces him to spy on Karl Webster, the owner of the last gay bar on Saira. The disapproving military authorities want Karl's bar closed, too, and he's feeling the heat. He thinks his gorgeous new lover is an ally in his fight, but Greg is reporting back all of Karl's plans to save the bar. As the campaign against Karl escalates Greg becomes ever more reluctant to deceive the man he's falling in love with.

Despite his fear Greg is too jittery and unstable to bother with, Karl wants him too much to give him up. He can't guess the real reason behind Greg's anxiety -- constant fear of what will happen when Karl discovers his deception. The inevitable revelation shatters their relationship and their lives as the blackmailer takes drastic action to silence Karl. Greg must sacrifice everything he's been trying to protect to undo the damage and save Karl.
