ROMANTIC SUSPENSE • SINGLE MOM HEROINE • MILITARY HERO
An Emotional Romance About Unexpected Connections, Dangerous Secrets, and Building Forever
One match changed their lives. One mystery could tear it all apart.
Rylie Hart never imagined she’d become a mother overnight, but when her best friend passes away, she steps in to raise five-year-old Mickey as her own. Just as they’re finding their rhythm, tragedy strikes again—Mickey is diagnosed with leukemia, and her only chance at survival is an anonymous donor.
Blackhawk Security CEO Chase Dixon never expected that donating bone marrow would change his life forever. Fast forward a year, he meets the little girl he saved, and she captures his heart instantly—but it's her fierce, protective mother who brings him to his knees.
Just when Rylie starts to believe in happy endings, Mickey’s adoption is contested—and a devastating secret comes to light. Now Rylie’s fighting not just for her daughter, but for the man who’s become her anchor in the storm. Can she hold on to the life they’ve started, or will the past steal it all away?
