Eight and a half months pregnant and betrayed by the man who should've been by her side, Egypt Harrison only wanted peace. A quiet weekend at her best friend's cabin was supposed to help her breathe, but a brutal snowstorm left her stranded, powerless, and desperate, until she knocked on the door of the last man she ever expected to meet.
Malachi Saronno. Billionaire. Aviation mogul. A man whose face lived on magazine covers and Forbes lists. He was supposed to be untouchable, out of her league, worlds away from her reality. Yet when he opened his door, he didn't just let her in, he stepped closer than anyone had in a long time.
Close enough to see her exhaustion.
Close enough to care for her swollen feet, her empty stomach, and the life growing inside her.
Close enough that her baby kicked when he spoke.
Trapped together by the storm, walls come down and sparks ignite. Malachi isn't the cold playboy the world thinks he is, and Egypt isn't as breakable as she feels. Somewhere between whispered conversations, shared meals, and late-night flutters, a bond forms-one that ties him not only to Egypt, but to her child.
And when the snow melts, Egypt has to face the truth: sometimes the family you never saw coming is the one you've been waiting for all along.
