Reeling from the shame, anger, embarrassment of his break up with the love of his life publicly, Kieran White had gotten involved with a common waitress at the pub he visited. They had hit it off and soon had a one night stand that led to them signing a contract marriage of five years so Kieran could head his family's business. 

What Edwina Hall had thought was a dream come true soon came shattering with a reality so blindly forced into her face when her husband asked her to sign the divorce papers he presented to her. Devastated, she had signed the papers and had left her cold-hearted ex-husband alone only to realize that she was pregnant with his son. 

Five years later, the duo crossed part in the most unlikely places and this time, the tables had turned as Kieran would do anything to get Edwina to notice him and most importantly, be with him again. 

Would Edwina continue to feign indifference to the man who had her heart and the father of her son or would she ignore him and move on with someone else?

I should have known that the peace i found in New York would not last long.


I should have suspected, should have guarded my heart. I should have known better. The universe had noticed that I was getting lax, and it had thrown a wrench into the wheels of my life.


"I'm so sorry, babes. I didn't want to do this, but I had no choice," Juliette said, her voice tight with tension.


I rubbed my eyes, feeling the weight of sleep still clinging to me. The morning light streamed through the window, casting long shadows across the room. 


Something was wrong, I knew instinctively, and the knot in my stomach tightened with fear.


I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. "It's alright. How bad is it?" My voice came out weaker than I intended, a thread of panic woven through it.


Juliette's call had been the one to wake me up today. 


Kieran had left yesterday, gone back to whenever he was staying. He was supposed to come back today for a visit to the library.
