From International Generational Award-winning author Laura Carpenter comes a powerful Irish second-chance romance about forgiveness, parenthood, and choosing each other again when it matters most.
Three years after walking away from the woman he loved, Cillian Devlin has everything he once dreamed of - fame, success, and a career the world envies.
What he doesn't have is peace.
When old secrets resurface and the media turns his family into headlines, Cillian is forced to confront the past he tried to outrun. At the centre of it all is Saoirse Tierney - the woman who carried his children, protected their privacy, and rebuilt her life while he disappeared.
Saoirse learned how to survive without him.
She learned how to raise her children in silence.
She learned how to stay strong when the world decided her story for her.
Now Cillian is back - humbled, determined, and ready to fight for the family he once failed.
Between custody pressure, public scrutiny, and wounds that never fully healed, they must decide whether love can be rebuilt under the harshest spotlight - or whether some ties are too damaged to mend.
A powerful Irish romance about forgiveness, resilience, and choosing each other again when it matters most.
Award-winning author - emotionally driven Irish fiction
