Kylee Pierce has survived more than most could bear. A broken past. A lost child. Parents who abandoned her when she needed them most. Becoming pregnant should have been the beginning of her forever-but instead, it cost her everything. The baby she loved was taken from her in an instant, and the life she thought she was building collapsed with it. But Ky didn't break. She rebuilt. She carved out a life on her own terms and became a woman who knows her worth-one who refuses to shrink or bend for anyone... even the man who has haunted her heart for years. Dex Williams has loved her from the start. But loving his sister's best friend was never an option-so he buried it and built walls thick enough to keep them both safe. Until one terrifying moment a year ago, when Ky ran into danger without hesitation... and he nearly lost her forever. In that instant, everything became clear: she is his. But loving Ky means risking everything he's spent years protecting. Years ago, Dex loved another woman. Scarlett was kind, full of promise-until an accident stole pieces of her memory and left Dex drowning in guilt he's never escaped. Since then, he's lived half-guarded, afraid that loving again means losing everything. Now Ky is walking away-because she refuses to chase a man who won't choose her. And for the first time, Dex realizes that loving her means facing the past he's been running from... before it costs him the one person who still believes in him. Can Dex and Ky finally give themselves the chance at love they've been too afraid to take? Or will guilt, grief, and heartbreak pull them apart before they ever truly begin? All Rights Reserved.

Not the words he wished he could take back. Not the disappearance he's blamed himself for ever since. But the little girl napping in Dex's spare room changes everything. The art on the fridge. The toys scattered around the kitchen. The familiar shade in the child's eyes. Cali is hiding something. Kane can feel it in his bones. And the truth is about to break both of them.
