Walker I swore I’d never come back to Wesbourne. Two years ago, the world of luxury cars, designer wardrobes, and jetting off to Singapore for late-night dim sum faded into little more than my back story. I should have known better. My plan was slip in unnoticed, get what I need, and catch the first flight back to Oxford. No one needs to know I’m back. Especially not him. But nothing ever goes as planned.

And I need to remember exactly what it was.
