Things We Left Behind

The only one who could release me was one lady. But if I had to ask Sloane Walton for anything, I would rather burn myself alive.

Lean and ruthless, vengeance-seeking businessman Lucian Rollins is who he is. In an attempt to remove his father's imprint from the family name, he spends every waking moment manipulating people and creating an immovable empire. He is less vulnerable to dangers the more wealth and influence he accumulates.

With the exception of the assertive small-town librarian who keeps him awake at night.

A fiery individual, Sloane Walton is committed to continuing her father's pursuit of justice. As soon as she discovers the precise nature of the guy she despises' actions against her family, she will take that action. Because of their shared loathing of one another and an ancient, dark truth from the past, Sloane only has limited confidence in Lucian, only so much faith in his fancy suit-wearing figure.

These two find themselves not quite regretting their sultry one-night encounter as their argumentative banter unexpectedly escalates into foreplay. It seems like there's no extinguishing those flames once they get going. However, these enemies-turned-lovers are at a standstill since Sloane is eager to start a family and Lucian isn't even open to the thought of getting married and having children.

Women are broken by males. Because of what he's seen and what he thinks, Lucian won't take that risk with Sloane. prefer than endanger her, he would much prefer be alone. However, he learns the hard way that abandoning her leaves her defenseless against outside dangers.

He's mercilessly removed her from his life for the second time. She will not, under any circumstances, give him another opportunity. All he has to do is build one for himself.
