Things We Left Behind

Description

Lucian Rollins has built an empire around revenge, determined to erase his father’s reputation from the family name. Sloane Walton, a resolute small-town librarian, is pursuing a separate family quest for justice. An old secret and years of distrust bind them together, and their frequent arguments give way to an attraction neither can dismiss. Desire cannot resolve their central disagreement: Sloane wants marriage and children, while Lucian refuses the future she imagines. His attempt to protect her by walking away only leaves her exposed to new danger and forces him to reconsider what protection requires. The romance combines family secrets and external threats with a conflict between intimacy and incompatible visions of commitment.
