Every great author started with a blank page.
Today, a new chapter begins.
Man’s Best Friend
Coming Soon from Oakford Publishing
The Montgomerys have everything.
Money. Reputation. A beautiful home. A family name that opens doors.
And when Jacob falls for Warren Montgomery, he thinks he’s being welcomed into all of it.
But behind the perfect dinners, expensive gifts and carefully maintained appearances, something doesn’t quite add up.
Old stories change depending on who tells them.
Certain names make conversations stop.
And some members of the family seem far more interested in protecting the Montgomery reputation than telling Jacob the truth.
When Jacob finds himself faced with a secret the family has spent years keeping buried, he has a choice to make.
Protect the life he thought he wanted—or risk everything to find out what really happened.
Man’s Best Friend is the debut novel from Jai James and the first release from Oakford Publishing.
