Lucian and Sloane grew up as neighbors. Sloane's parents looked at Lucian as their son. Then one night, Sloane lost Lucian's trust and he left. Until one day, decades later, Lucian returned to Knockemout to visit with his friends Knox and Nash Morgan. As Knox and Nash are finding the loves of their lives, Lucian and Sloane try their best at avoiding each other and when that doesn't work, they resort to insulting each other. As time goes on, they start fighting the feelings they begin to realize they have for each other. Can Sloane and Lucian see beyond their past and rekindle their flames or are they doomed to be enemies forever?
Be ready for a roller coaster ride of emotion. This was the best book of the trilogy and it made me laugh, cry, and get angry right along with the characters. Filled with passion, danger, and mystery this book will keep you at the edge of your seat.
