The Loner

by Kate Moore

First published 2015

Will Sloan stands at his high school reunion, a billionaire now but still the son of a waitress and a dead rodeo cowboy. He built his fortune after leaving LA as a broke scholarship student, but money cannot erase the memory of Annie James. When he sees her across the room, ten years of success suddenly feel meaningless. Annie has rebuilt her life since their devastating breakup left her single and unemployed at twenty four. She survived early widowhood, found steady work, bought a house, and channels her energy into helping troubled kids. She agrees to help a struggling boy win a scholarship to the prestigious Canyon School. This simple favor forces her back into Will's orbit. He swears this time he will be the one to walk away first, but Annie knows he still holds the power to shatter her carefully constructed world. Between the palm trees and blazing sunsets of Los Angeles, two people who once destroyed each other must decide whether love deserves a second chance.
