Sloane Hartley never meant to become a mother. But when she finds twelve-year-old Kameron-bloodied, brilliant, and alone-outside her building, something shifts. Months later, she's adopted him, and together they move into a penthouse that feels more like a second chance than a fresh start. Kameron trusts no one but her, and Sloane, newly promoted to VP of Marketing and Operations, is learning to balance ambition with the fragile art of healing.
Across town, Blake Ruddell runs the most prestigious publishing empire in the country-a legacy built by his grandfather and entrusted to him after years of tireless work. He's powerful, respected, and emotionally guarded, until a chance encounter with Sloane and Kameron begins to unravel the walls he's spent a lifetime building.
As their lives intertwine, Blake and Sloane must navigate the delicate terrain of chosen family, buried grief, and the quiet moments that ask us to stay. Kameron, fiercely intelligent and deeply wounded, becomes the unlikely thread that binds them-challenging them to love not just each other, but themselves.
This is a story about redemption, intimacy, and the kind of love that doesn't announce itself-it lingers, waits, and changes everything.
