The Heart You Kept

Alora Sorenson spent a secret weekend in the Swiss Alps with a man she barely knew. Three years later she believes she has put him behind her. Then Edward Prescott reappears, wealthier, more powerful and just as hard for her to resist.

Edward owns the largest casino empire in the world. His circle is high society, luxury yachts and dangerous enemies, and he moves through it as a dark, commanding presence. Alora lives quietly and simply, surrounded by antiques and vintage fashion. She has no place in his world, yet she has never stopped wanting him.

Edward's charm hides real danger. On the Riviera, the secrets that first drew the two together begin to surface again, and it is unclear whether those same secrets will now pull them apart.

This is a contemporary romance with a billionaire hero, a second-chance dynamic and a glamorous Mediterranean backdrop. The tension comes from the gulf between their lives and from what Edward keeps hidden.

The book opens the Kings of the Riviera series by T.L. Swan and closes on a cliffhanger, so the story is left unresolved at the last page.
