Six years ago, Cali Williams vanished without a word. One night of forbidden passion with her brother's best friend left her heartbroken... ...and carrying a secret she was never meant to face alone. Now she's back-bruised, guarded, and desperate to protect the only person who matters: her daughter, Isabelle who hasn't spoken a word in a year. Cali wants safety. She wants a fresh start. She definitely does not want to see Kane McKnight again-the man she loved, the man who shattered her, the man who can never know the truth. But fate has other plans. When Cali shows up at her brother Dex's penthouse, she doesn't expect to run into Kane there. Kane. Who is Older. Warmer. Still devastating handsome. And suddenly staring at her like she's a ghost he's been haunted by for years. Kane never forgot her. Not the way she looked at him. Not the tears he caused. 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. A story of second chances, healing from trauma, found family, buried secrets, and a love that refuses to die no matter how hard they try to kill it. ONLY EVER YOU Some stories begin with heartbreak.

I used to a lot more, but, the downfalls seem a lot less daunting now that I have someone to free-fall with," I replied, and I looked up to see him smile a little at that, "We're just dancing in the rain these days.. there's no need to be afraid of the inevitable clouds that are gonna pop up." • • • College.
