Hearts at Risk

He thought love wasn't in the cards. She made him risk everything.
Matthew had stopped believing in happily-ever-afters.
Failed relationships left him convinced he was destined to be the charming uncle at family gatherings-never the husband, never the father.
Until Daphne walked into his life.
A captivating stranger with pink hair and a sharp wit, sipping a Martini at a dimly lit bar, she turned ten minutes of conversation into something that felt like they'd known each other forever.
But there was one undeniable complication: Daphne was an escort.
Nine years younger than Matthew, she wasn't looking for a fairytale romance-and neither was he. Yet the connection between them was undeniable... and irresistible.
When Matthew makes her an unexpected offer, it ignites a dangerous game of desire and trust. Together, they'll have to face not just the sparks of new love, but the ghosts of their pasts. Because sometimes, love alone isn't enough to heal old wounds.
