The Truth She Tried to Tell

Four years ago, Tessa Hart tried to tell Cole Kingston the truth-he was going to be a father. But every message vanished into silence. No call. No reply. No explanation. Left alone with her secret, Tessa raised her daughter while building a life she never imagined living without him.

Now, fate throws them back together on a high-profile project neither of them can walk away from. Cole is colder, sharper, and still carrying the hurt of a woman who he thinks ghosted him. Tessa is guarded, determined to protect her daughter-and her heart-from being shattered all over again.

But when Cole meets Ava, the truth becomes undeniable. She's his. And so is the past he never knew existed.

As buried emotions resurface and long-lost truths unravel, Tessa and Cole are forced to confront the pain of what could've been-and the hope of what still might be.

Can they rebuild something real from the ashes of missed chances? Or is the truth too broken to bring them back together?
