Hayes showed up to a backyard barbecue expecting burnt burgers and small talk. Instead, he found out he has a two-year-old daughter. Mine. The shock hits. Then the anger.
Not just because I kept the truth from him—but because after one reckless night, I couldn’t find him even if I tried. And just when I think the fallout can’t get worse?
He walks into my office as our new high-powered executive. Now I’m stuck co-parenting with the most controlled, demanding man I’ve ever met—and to Hayes, there’s only one way to handle our situation.
His way. I should be terrified of what that means for my carefully built life. But I don’t expect the way he looks at our daughter—with complete, fierce devotion.
Or the way his eyes linger on me like we’re unfinished business. Then there’s a kiss. One night. And suddenly, lines blur.
I kept a secret—now he’s insistent that I belong to him and he’s staking his future on us…
