#1
Inexcusable
2005
"I am a good guy. Good guys don't do bad things. Good guys understand that no means no, and so I could not have done this because I understand."
Keir Sarafian knows many things about himself. He is a talented football player, a loyal friend, a devoted son and brother. Most of all, he is a good guy.
And yet the love of his life thinks otherwise. Gigi says Keir has done something awful. Something unforgivable.
Keir doesn't understand. He loves Gigi. He would never do anything to hurt her. So Keir carefully recounts the events leading up to that one fateful night, in order to uncover the truth. Clearly, there has been a mistake.
But what has happened is, indeed, something inexcusable.

#2
Irreversible
2016
Keir Sarafian knows he is not a rapist and did nothing wrong. But no one will believe that he’s the good guy he knows he is—no one except his father, Ray. And Ray’s just the person Keir has to leave in order to have the fresh start he deserves.
In the follow-up to Inexcusable, Keir must confront the kind of person he really is and realize that though events may be in the past, they are as inescapable as they are irreversible.
