Things We Left Behind

Meer over het boek

There was only one woman who could set me free, but I would rather set myself on fire than ask Sloane Walton for anything. Lucian Rollins, a vengeance-seeking mogul, is determined to erase his father’s mark on the family name by building an indestructible empire. The more power he gains, the safer he feels—except when it comes to Sloane, the feisty small-town librarian who keeps him awake at night. Sloane is fiercely committed to continuing her father’s quest for justice, but she’s still unraveling the truth about what Lucian’s father did to her family. With a shared dark secret and mutual disdain, Sloane trusts Lucian about as far as she can throw him. Their bickering unexpectedly ignites a passionate one-night stand, complicating their relationship further. As Sloane dreams of starting a family, Lucian is adamant about avoiding marriage and kids, leaving them at an impasse. Lucian believes that broken men break women, and he refuses to put Sloane in danger, even if it means living in solitude. However, his choice to cut her out of his life only exposes her to other threats. After two painful separations, Sloane is unwilling to give him a third chance, forcing Lucian to find a way back into her life—and her heart.
