In Cold Blood Chapter 1 Summary

In his past life, Ronan Vance was reunited with his biological parents — a reunion he treasured more than anything, having been stolen from them as a child.

But to Ronan, their belated affection and sorrow meant less than nothing. If they thought he would forgive them, they could dream on.
