Underneath The Whiskey Chelsea Lauren

Will the truth set him free or drive him deeper into the bottle? Formerly "cured" in therapy, Benjamin Jacobson refuses to further explore or accept his sexuality-that is until the charming Caden Benson waltzes into his independent coffee shop. As Ben plays the role of picture-perfect husband and father of two, he relishes the hidden moments of a secret relationship where he can finally embrace who he is. Soon, the increasing weight of a double life demands to be acknowledged, whether Ben is ready to address it or not. Underneath the Whiskey is the poignant and wrenchingly honest story of a closeted gay man struggling to keep his family and business afloat amidst an affair and alcohol addiction.
