𝑰𝑵 𝑾𝑯𝑰𝑪𝑯

𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑪𝑶𝑳𝑵 𝑳𝑶𝑼𝑫 finds himself in a world that no teenager should ever have to navigate. At seventeen, he's not prepared to lose his mother, Rita, to a tragic surgery complication. And yet, here he is, holding their newborn daughter, Rachael. The girl who should've never existed, the child born out of broken rules, is now his responsibility. Lincoln didn't plan for any of this. He didn't plan to raise a child, let alone one with a story as twisted as Rachael's. But the world doesn't give you time to plan. It just hands you a new life and asks you to make it work. So, with no one to turn to, Lincoln runs away.

𝑹𝑨𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑬𝑳 𝑳𝑶𝑼𝑫 grows up believing Lincoln is her father. She's too young to understand the complexities of their relationship, too innocent to question the stories he tells her about her mother, Rita. To her, Lincoln is her everything and nothing else matters. But years pass and she gets older and questions begin to form. Why does the world look at them like that? Rachael can't help but love the man who's given her everything. She's never known anyone else. And maybe that's enough. But how long can Lincoln keep his truth hidden from the girl who deserves the whole story?
