A man who believes he lost the love of his life. A woman who believes she'll never be chosen. A little girl who simply wants a mother.
Five years ago, Brian Garcia was abandoned by the woman he loved, leaving him to raise the daughter he never knew he had.
Since then, his world has revolved around one little girl... and the one woman who never left.
Mylie Wise has always been Addie's constant-her safe place, her favorite person. Quietly and selflessly, she's helped Brian navigate single fatherhood while hiding one impossible secret:
She's been in love with him for years.
But Brian was once engaged to her identical twin sister.
Loving him has always felt like the ultimate betrayal.
Just when Brian begins to believe happiness might finally be within reach, the past returns with one heartbreaking request that changes everything.
Now Brian, Mylie, and Addie must face a question no one is prepared to answer:
Is motherhood defined by blood... or by the person who chooses to stay?
If Ever is a deeply emotional story of love, forgiveness, family, and second chances-not only for broken hearts, but for the people who discover that sometimes the truest family is the one we choose.
