Sometimes the wrong time is the only time you get.
Harley Dawson doesn’t do “attachment.”
So when her estranged father gets in an accident, and she’s suddenly the legal guardian of a four-year-old brother she didn’t know existed, her carefully controlled life implodes overnight. Now she’s juggling hospital visits, a chaos gremlin in the form of a small child, and a past she’s spent six years trying to outrun—Max very much included.
Max Bennett is running out of time.
His daughter is getting sicker by the day, and no matter how many tests, calls, or sleepless nights he throws at the problem, he still can’t fix it. He’s used to having answers. But this? This is something he can’t solve.
When Harley and Max are thrown back into each other’s lives, old feelings resurface just as fast as old wounds. Because no matter how much time has passed… they never really let each other go.
As the pressure builds and the stakes grow higher, they’re forced to face everything they left unsaid—about the past, about each other, and about what it means to stay when things get hard. Because saving the people they love might mean not running this time.
This time, walking away isn’t an option.
