He waited two and a half years. She came back with a secret that could cost them both.
How did I end up with my ex, playing house with a toddler?
Chloe Banks just walked back into my kitchen like she didn’t leave me to chase a Hollywood dream. Now she’s back for a wedding, with a secret.
She’s beautiful—competence wrapped in sunshine. I should keep my distance. But a first kiss cracks everything open, and I fall for her all over again.
The newlyweds leave their little girl with her. I bring food, join playdates, and step up when Eliana gets sick.
At the swing on the cliff, my hands settle on her stomach, and we ache with longing for each other—before she admits what I suspect.
I know the baby isn’t mine, but I love Chloe, so I accept the whole package. She needs a place to stay, and I let her stay at mine.
But when the baby’s father starts calling —just as we’re building our dream restaurant—she runs, leaving me again.
If I don’t act fast, I’ll lose the only family I’ve ever wanted.
