His mistress
Loving him was the cruelest kind of torment-a love that lived in the shadows, one that could never bask in the warmth of the sun. I was nothing more than a stolen moment, a whispered name in the dark, a secret he tucked away between the life he had built and the one he wished he could have. I knew, deep down, that I was a fracture in his story, a fleeting escape from the weight of his reality. And yet, I still clung to him, to the illusion that for a few precious hours, he was mine. But the truth was relentless-it came in the form of unanswered texts, in the way he dressed hurriedly after loving me, in the way he said her name with the same tenderness he once gave me. I had given him my heart, knowing he would never be able to keep it, and yet, I loved him still. Loved him as I watched him walk away, loved him as he returned to the arms of the woman he truly belonged to, loved him as I drowned in the loneliness he left behind. Because no matter how much I wished it to be different, I was not his home-I was just a place he visited before going back to where his heart truly lived.Complete

Then a storm, a damaged condo, and a too-convenient lease leave Tessa with nowhere to go except Evan's villa at Blackstone Grove.

Under one roof, distance becomes impossible. Family pressure pushes Tessa toward a blind date. Jealousy cracks Evan's careful control. And every ordinary moment-grocery runs, late-night talks, shared concern, the quiet intimacy of being cared for-pulls them closer to the truth they have both tried not to touch. But history still stands between them. Tessa was the one who left. Evan is the one who was left behind. And wanting each other again is the easy part compared to risking the same heartbreak twice.
