Cassidy West never imagined the boy she'd loved quietly from a distance could shatter her world and rewrite her story in a single night. But he did. And that one impulsive moment with Luke Rainer leaves her with far more than memories and heartbreak. It leaves her pregnant. For Luke, the past was a ghost he buried deep the day he left town. With a career on the rise, a flawless fiancée, and a future built on precision, Cassidy's unexpected arrival threatens everything. He doesn't want the complication. He doesn't want the reminder. He certainly doesn't want the baby. But life doesn't ask what you want. It hands you what you need. Forced to live under the same roof until the baby comes, old wounds reopen, boundaries blur, and something raw and dangerous begins to grow, leaving Luke with the realization that the hardest thing to run from isn't the past... it's his own heart. Now he must decide: Will he risk everything he's built... for the one thing he never thought he needed?
