A slowburn enemies-to-lovers romance with a secret baby twist that will keep you turning pages until dawn.

She's standing between him and his son.

Sara Carsten never expected to become guardian to her late sister's baby, and juggling motherhood, grief, and the economic challenges of running a brick-and-mortar bookstore feels impossibly challenging-until Brady smiles. When a devastatingly handsome judge appears claiming Brady is his son, Sara's precariously rebuilt world tilts off its axis. She's already lost everyone she's ever loved-she won't lose Brady too.

He's fighting for a child he never knew existed.

Judge Lawrence Bishop's bright political future hangs in the balance when he discovers the mystery woman of his impetutous, one-off ski weekend fling is dead, leaving behind a baby boy with eyes that mirror his own. Now Ren faces an impossible choice: claim the child who could end his career, or walk away from the son he never knew existed.

In a fight where winner takes all, can two broken hearts discover that sometimes the greatest victory is learning to share-and love again?
