Our little secret

Some lines were never meant to be crossed, but Destiny and Hendrix crossed them anyway.

For years, Destiny and Hendrix mastered the art of pretending. Pretending their late-night conversations didn't mean anything. Pretending the lingering looks weren't dangerous. Pretending the love growing between them was just friendship.

Their relationship lives in the shadows, hidden from family, friends, and especially from Destiny's cousin, Rachel-the woman Hendrix has spent years caught in an exhausting cycle of breakups and makeups with.

But Destiny's secret goes far deeper than stolen kisses and hidden feelings.

When Rachel and Hendrix struggled to have a child, Destiny agreed to become their surrogate. What was supposed to be an act of love for her cousin quickly turned into something far more complicated when Rachel walked away from the process and disappeared from Hendrix's life once again. As feelings grew between Destiny and Hendrix, boundaries blurred, and soon the baby she carried became more than a promise kept.

Now little Lennox is here, and Hendrix has everything he never knew he wanted: the woman he loves and the son he adores.

There's only one problem.

Hendrix is ready to stop hiding and show the world that Destiny and Lennox are his family. Destiny isn't willing to risk destroying the people she loves or becoming the villain in her cousin's story.

Then Rachel comes back.

Determined to reclaim the man she still considers hers, Rachel isn't prepared for the truth waiting for her-or the betrayal she believes stole her future.

As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, Destiny and Hendrix must decide if their love is worth losing everything they've ever known.

Because sometimes the person meant for you is the one you were never supposed to have.
