I came to Willow Bend, Wyoming with nothing but the clothes on my back and a secret. It won’t be easy hiding morning sickness and swinging emotions as the live-in chef for a wealthy tech genius, but I’ll do whatever it takes to build a life for myself and my baby. Because I’m in this alone. For weeks I hold my breath, waiting for the moment I come face to face with the reclusive Titus Bradshaw and have to explain my… condition. But when our paths finally cross late one night, I discover why he’s hidden away from the world. His scars are deep and far-reaching. A reminder of what he lost. Who he couldn’t save. I know I should keep my distance, but Titus’s calm demeanor and steady presence draw me in. Make me want things I can’t have. Wish for a life that won’t be mine. Because my future and his past are incompatible. He’s been through enough. I won’t make him suffer any more. But someone else might. Someone who’s keeping a secret of their own. And they’ll kill to protect it.
