Matlock by Ann Silver

I’ve spent six years hiding the man I love in the shadows of a Denver sex club. Six years keeping him as my dirty secret while he deserved to be claimed in the daylight. I told myself I had reasons—good ones. My sister died protecting my secret, and I swore her sacrifice wouldn’t be for nothing.
Then he confessed to a murder he didn’t commit. Now I’m standing in a courtroom, watching the man I love face life in prison to protect his sister. And the prosecutor? Rosalind Winthrop is a vicious predator wielding homophobia like a weapon, painting him as a deviant, a monster, a jealous killer consumed by shame.
She doesn’t know he’s mine.
That every night of this trial, he’s in my bed. That I’ve been touching him, claiming him, loving him in secret while letting the world tear him apart. I can save him—but only if I’m willing to expose us both. Only if I stop being the coward who hides behind his dead sister’s memory and finally fight for what’s mine.
The truth might destroy me. But losing him will kill me.
And Rosalind? She’s hiding secrets of her own—ones that could shatter everything.
