A Steamy BWWM Interracial Multicultural Billionaire Single Mom Baby Enemies to Lovers Second Chance Standalone Corporate Romance

What happens when the man who broke your heart becomes your biggest client—and discovers he has a daughter?

ARIA
I built everything from scratch—my event planning empire, my life as a single mom, my future with a man who accepted us both. Then Ethan Blackwood walks back into my conference room after three years, and I can barely breathe.

He doesn't know.
How could he? When I fled New York with a shattered heart and his unborn child, I believed he'd abandoned me. Now he's my biggest client, and one look at my daughter's eyes—his eyes—will destroy everything I've sacrificed to build.
"Your attention to detail is impressive," he says, studying me like he's trying to solve a puzzle. What he doesn't understand is that I've become an expert at hiding the most important detail of all.

But photographs don't lie, and when Ethan discovers the truth, I feel his world stop on its axis. Mine already did—three years ago.

ETHAN
Three years of searching for the woman who disappeared without a word. Three years wasted because someone deliberately kept us apart.

Now I find her across a conference table, more beautiful than I remembered, with a secret that changes everything: my daughter.

"I will use whatever tools necessary to secure my rightful place in my child's life," I tell her, meaning every word. I've built empires with less determination than this.

What I never expected was that claiming my daughter would reawaken feelings I thought long buried. Or that the man Aria plans to marry holds the key to our past—and a vendetta that threatens everything we love.

Can love forged in betrayal's shadow withstand the dangerous truths that threaten to tear us apart? Or will the secrets between us cost us everything—including our daughter's future?
