I came back to Deep Cove with a six-year-old secret and a million memories I've tried hard to forget. But I've never been able to forget him.

Ford Winters is more than just my ex. He's my first love. He's the only man I've ever truly given my heart to. He's also the father of a little girl he doesn't even know exists.

I didn't plan on coming back home, but when I found out my mom needed me, I didn't hesitate. So here we are, my daughter Poppy and I, back in the place where I left my shattered heart all those years ago.

What I didn't expect? Walking into the office of my new perfect-on-paper marketing job to discover that Ford owns the multi-million dollar company. He won't even look at me. He's furious, and he has every right to be after I walked out of his life without even a goodbye. But I need this job, and the company needs me, so we're going to have to make this work.

Easier said than done.

The pull between us is magnetic. The tension is impossible to ignore. Every second we spend together is fire, and when he finally kisses me, I'm reminded why my heart has always been his.

But when I see how kind and sweet Ford is with my daughter— our daughter—it makes the guilt inside me twist like a knife. If he knew the real reason I walked away from him, if he knew the secret I still can't bring myself to reveal, he would never forgive me.

I can't keep the truth from him for much longer, but how do I tell him without losing everything?

A second-chance romance with a secret baby twist. Ford built an empire. Landyn broke his heart. Now she's back with a daughter he didn't know existed.
