The Secret She Kept
Three years ago, Charlotte Jameson walked away from a love that broke her heart-and took a secret with her: she was pregnant. Now, at a friend's wedding, her past collides with the present when she sees Ethan Hayes again... and he sees her daughter. A daughter with his eyes. Ethan wants answers. Charlotte wants to protect the life she's built. But the truth won't stay buried-and as Ethan discovers the child he never knew he had, both must confront old wounds, shattered trust, and the fragile hope of starting over. Can two people who lost everything find their way back to each other-and build something stronger from the ruins?

Now, four years later, he's done with college, made a name for himself, and is back in Runville. History always repeats itself. What goes around comes around. And where you start is where you end.
