Absolution

By E.M. Lindsey

"I'm madly, irrevocably in love with a man I met on the streets one night, and if I get a second chance, I plan to make sure I spend every day reminding him just how absolutely loved and cherished he is." By the time he turned twenty-nine, Alexei Gurgov has managed to put his dark past behind him. Running a bookshop and living a quiet life in London, he has very few expectations. He may be lonely, but alone means nothing can hurt him. Alone means there's no one in his life to abandon him. Then one night, he's mugged in an alley, and his life is irrevocably changed. Instead of going to the police, Alexei tracks down the mugger and learns he's merely a starving man trying to get by. Offering him a job and a place to stay, Alexei is determined to help make it right. After all, he knows better than anyone what it's like to struggle. The one thing he doesn't expect, however, is to fall for his sudden flatmate, even if it seems like August his hiding something from his past. When all the chips fall, will this be his own version of a storybook romance, or are they star-crossed lovers, determined to burn bright and fall apart? *** Absolution is the re-release of a book published in 2016. Additional words have been added lengthening the story to 30% longer than the original, but the plot and conclusion remain the same.
