Finding Tyrell

Finding Tyrell

A Novel by Deon Jenkins

Some hearts are never truly lost-only waiting to be found.

Tyrell Williams has always played it safe. Kind-hearted, grounded, and deeply loyal, he's the emotional anchor for those around him-even when he's silently unraveling inside. Caught between the warmth of new love and the shadow of an unresolved past, Tyrell is finally ready to ask: What do I really want? And am I brave enough to claim it?

Greg Moore was Tyrell's first college friend. Raised in a household where appearances mattered more than truth, Greg buried his feelings to protect his family's image. But now, with his past crumbling and his heart louder than ever, he's determined to rewrite their story... if it's not too late.

Khali, the soft-hearted romantic, offers Tyrell the promise of something gentle and honest. But love isn't easy when you're competing with ghosts-and Khali must decide if he's strong enough to stand his ground or walk away with grace.

Meanwhile, Mason-a loyal friend with a hardened exterior-finds himself pulled into a dangerous undercurrent from his past. As he fights to protect the people he loves, Mason realizes that healing doesn't come from being invincible-it comes from letting someone in. His journey may not revolve around love, but it will test the limits of friendship, sacrifice, and survival.

Secrets. Loyalty. And the truth that no one dared to say out loud.

In Finding Tyrell, four young men navigate the spaces between who they are and who they're becoming-one choice, one heartbreak, and one confession at a time.

Perfect for fans of emotionally rich, character-driven stories, Finding Tyrell is a modern, queer coming-of-age tale about vulnerability, self-worth, and the messy beauty of love and brotherhood.
