🥇 Wattpad Amby Award Winner - 2023 Top Pick in Romance.🥇
Lauren Baker thought she'd moved on. Big city, career, husband-check, check, check-displayed in perfectly curated photos online, before it all fell apart. Now she's scrubbing off every box she ever ticked, back in her hometown, waiting for a divorce, sleeping in her teenage bedroom, and face-to-face with the one man she never got over.
Gio Regali likes to keep himself controlled-flashy car, private offline life, measured emotions. Love? That's off-limits. Especially now, with a mental health diagnosis that makes getting close far too risky. But seeing Ren again throws his carefully balanced world into unexpected chaos.
Their attraction is immediate and explosively impossible to ignore-just like it was all those years ago-but Gio's convinced he's too damaged to be loved. And though Ren carries the quiet grief of infertility, she's impulsive and optimistically determined to tear down Gio's stubborn walls for a second chance at what they once had.
To find their way back to each other (and maybe even themselves), they have to expose old wounds, new vulnerabilities, and desires neither anticipated, learning that some second chances don't just heal two hearts-they build the family you never thought you could have.
