Leon Barker didn't just surrender.
He orchestrated everything.
The trial.
The evidence.
The exposure.
From inside a courtroom, the convicted arms trafficker turns star witness - naming senators, defense manufacturers, and private mercenary networks fueling global conflict for profit.
And he places the entire case in the hands of one person:
Federal prosecutor Claire Ridgewood.
Leon claims his feelings for her are real.
But Claire can't silence the question beneath every hearing, every confession, every piece of explosive evidence:
Did he choose her hoping she would protect him?
Or did he choose her because he knew she wouldn't - if the evidence led to him?
As political immunity begins to crack and international investigations accelerate, Claire must navigate:
Federal prosecution under global scrutiny
Corruption at the highest levels of government
Media manipulation and narrative warfare
And the undeniable chemistry between herself and the defendant
The deeper she pushes the case, the clearer it becomes:
Leon didn't just expose the system.
He forced it into the open.
Now powerful players are at risk - and retaliation doesn't happen in courtrooms.
It happens in shadows.
The Things We Can Save is the explosive second installment in The Things We Cannot Save series - perfect for readers of legal thrillers, political conspiracy fiction, morally complex romance, and courtroom dramas with international stakes.Power. Love. Manipulation. Justice.
And the dangerous question at the center of it all:
What if the man on trial engineered the battlefield himself?
