Sophia Bennett spent six years loving Julian Sterling in silence and caring for him through the darkest period of his life. The night Julian finally stands up from his wheelchair should have been the happiest night of hers too-because Sophia is ready to tell him she is pregnant.
Instead, the return of the woman from Julian's past and one overheard sentence shatter everything. Believing she was never more than a temporary place-holder in his life, Sophia leaves without a word and disappears overseas with their unborn child.
Five years later, she is back home, raising her bright, lovable daughter Ellie on her own and doing her best to protect the quiet life they built together. Then a chance meeting at preschool brings Julian crashing back into her world.
Now the distance between them is filled with unanswered questions, old resentment, and a little girl who may be the one person neither of them can turn away from. But as Sophia and Julian are forced into each other's orbit again, the truth behind the past begins to surface-and so do the feelings they never really buried.
For Sophia, getting close to Julian again could cost her the peace she fought to build. For Julian, this may be his last chance to reclaim the family he didn't know he had already lost.
