Everything changed in the blink of an eye. I wasn’t expecting it. The way my life would be irrevocably altered in seconds. Sophie was a painful part of my past I’d rather forget. Fifteen years ago, she packed her things and hightailed it without a word. Now she’s back—but she brought with her my teenage daughter, whom I didn’t know existed. At first, I felt betrayed. I don’t know how to be a father. The problem is—I don’t have a choice. Sophie is sick and running out of time. But even with the dark clouds swirling with fear and uncertainty, I have one guiding light—Frankie. We’ve been darting around our feelings for a while. But maybe we’ve left it too long because I have responsibilities now. People who need me to take care of them. But maybe Frankie needs me to take care of her too. And if I lose sight of that, will I end up putting her in the ultimate danger?
