Zelani Vale spent nearly four years convincing herself Kashmir St. James was a mistake she survived.
One unforgettable weekend with the wealthy, dangerously charming businessman left her with a broken heart-and a son Kash never knew existed.
Lani built a life without him. A successful luxury-event company. A beautiful little boy. And enough distance between herself and the man she believed walked away without looking back.
Then she accepts the biggest contract of her career.
And walks straight back into Kash's world.
There's just one problem.
She's planning his wedding.
Kash is engaged, successful, and supposed to have his future figured out. But the second Lani walks back into his life, years disappear. The chemistry is still there. The anger is still there. And one reckless night at his own engagement party proves neither of them ever really moved on.
Then Kash meets Madden.
The little boy has his mannerisms. His attitude. Even some of his family's features.
And suddenly, the math starts looking a little too familiar.
What begins as unfinished business turns into a war over lost years, fatherhood, betrayal, and a love neither of them knows how to leave alone.
But the secret Lani kept isn't the only one buried between their families.
Because somebody made sure Kash and Lani stayed apart all those years ago.
And when the truth finally comes out, finding out who knew what-and who crossed a line that should have never been crossed-may destroy far more than their second chance at love.
Everybody has something to hide.
But some secrets run deeper than love.
Some secrets are in the blood.
