Different lives. But some loves don't die. They wait. Now fate throws them together again, older, scarred, cautious - but still carrying the memory of the boy and girl they once were.

"In the silence of an empty marriage, she discovered the love she deserved."

Some heartbreaks don't just hurt-they change you. In a world where love was supposed to be safe, she was betrayed by the two people she trusted most. What began as passion ended in a wreckage of lies, broken promises, and a heart shattered beyond recognition. Now, she's no longer the naive girl who believed in forever. She's a survivor, piecing herself back together from the ashes of what they destroyed. But when trust is stolen and love turns to vengeance, one question remains: Can a stolen heart ever truly heal?

Cassidy Katelyn Jones thought she knew what love was. For years, Sloan-the man who once showered her with sweetness and attention-was everything she believed in. But love turned bitter, promises frayed, and devotion became denial. Even when his betrayals cut deeper, Cassidy clung to the hope that the man she fell for was still there, hidden under the wreckage. Until the day the truth stared her in the face-and she could no longer look away. Reeling from heartbreak, Cassidy stumbles through the quiet ache of her days, convincing herself she can survive on routine alone. Work. Coffee. Sleep. Repeat. But life has other plans. At her favorite corner café, a stranger with storm-blue eyes and a worn leather jacket notices what no one else does: the way her smile has dimmed, the exhaustion she hides behind sharp wit and floral dresses. Killian is nothing like Sloan. Rough around the edges, steady in ways that feel foreign, he asks for nothing-yet offers presence where silence once pressed too heavy. But Cassidy's heart is tangled in years of love and loss. To let go is to question everything she thought she knew about loyalty, forgiveness, and herself. In this slow-burn romance about endings, beginnings, and the fragile space in between, Cassidy must learn that sometimes the quietest moments reveal the loudest truths.

[SAMPLE ONLY] I was carrying his child when he threw me out. He didn't even look me in the eyes when he called me a liar, when he believed his female best friend's accusations and lies over my truth. I begged him to trust me, but he turned his back, leaving me on the doorstep with a baby growing inside me and nowhere to go. Five years later, fate dragged him back into my life. A DNA test silenced every doubt, every accusation. Our son, my little boy who had never known his father's arms, the one he rejected was his all along. Now he's here, on his knees, begging. Begging for forgiveness. Begging to hold the child he abandoned. Begging to have me back. But how do I forgive the man who shattered me when I needed him most? How do I trust the husband who chose betrayal over love? Should I give him the family he suddenly craves? Or should I walk away and protect the life I built without him?
