[Hero Next Door 03] • Once Before

They had been friends once before - until Tabitha's father had found them together and thrown Daniel out on his ear after giving him a brutal lesson that he should always remember his station in life. Years later, Daniel is no longer the impoverished young man who relies on the workhouse for shelter. As a wealthy, successful man in his own right his life belongs to the Star Elite, but his past comes back to haunt him when reports are received that someone is stealing from the workhouse he used to live in, and Tabitha's father is the main suspect. Sent to investigate, Daniel faces one of the most difficult investigations of his life, made more complex by his unresolved feelings for Tabitha.
