Before You Knew Me. Having It All, #3

She's spent twenty-four years building a life so impeccable that no one would ever connect her to her father's disgrace. She's very nearly there. Sharon Beckett is one of Vancouver's sharpest litigation lawyers. She doesn't do lost causes, volatile social workers with a chip on their shoulder, or the Downtown Eastside at midnight in heels. Then a pro bono case lands on her desk, and suddenly she's doing all three. Kent Sawyer has spent years walking the streets of Vancouver's most vulnerable neighbourhood, earning the trust of people the city would rather not see.
He has no interest in lawyers, power brokers, or women who represent everything that failed the people he loves. Except, apparently, for the ice princess in the pressed suit who heats his blood without even trying. When a corrupt councillor threatens to destroy everything Kent has built, Sharon realises the fight goes deeper than a property dispute. The conspiracy runs all the way back to her own past - to her father's ruin, to the wound she's never stopped carrying - and fighting it means risking the only thing she has left: her reputation. Gritty, emotionally layered, and set against the raw heart of Vancouver - a story about two people carrying the weight of other people's wrongs, and what it costs to finally set them down. For readers of Jojo Moyes and Kristin Hannah. Some truths are worth everything it costs to tell them.
