 Knockemout Series #3

There existed only one woman with the power to liberate me. However, I would sooner endure self-inflicted torment than seek assistance from Sloane Walton.

Lucian Rollins, a determined and vengeful tycoon, is resolute in wiping away his father's stain on the family legacy. Every waking moment is dedicated to pulling strings and constructing an unassailable empire. The more wealth and influence he accumulates, the safer he feels from potential threats.

Except when it concerns the spirited small-town librarian who occupies his restless thoughts...

Sloane Walton, a fiery individual bent on continuing her father's pursuit of justice, is determined to uncover precisely what the man she despises did to—or for—her family. United by an old, haunting secret from the past and their present mutual animosity, Sloane places trust in Lucian about as much as she can toss his impeccably dressed figure.

When their arguments unintentionally transform into flirtation, these two find themselves not entirely remorseful about their passionate one-night encounter. Once those embers are kindled, extinguishing them appears nearly impossible. However, as Sloane is eager to start a family and Lucian adamantly opposes the notion of marriage and children, these former adversaries reach an impassable dilemma.

In Lucian's belief, broken men shatter women. It's a conviction grounded in what he's seen and experienced, and he refuses to take the risk of endangering Sloane. He would rather live a life of solitude than expose her to danger. Yet, he learns the harsh truth that leaving her also means leaving her defenseless against other perils.

This marks the second occasion he has ruthlessly excluded her from his life. She's not willing to grant him a third opportunity. He'll have to forge one for himself.
