He walked away six years ago. Now he’s the best man at my sister’s wedding… and staring right at our daughter.
Ava
One night with Cole was supposed to be a mistake I outgrew. Instead, it became Maisie—my whole world, and the reason I don’t trust men who make my knees weak.
Then I arrive in Cedar Hollow for my sister’s wedding and come face-to-face with the father who vanished before he ever knew what he left behind.
He says he’s changed. He says he wants us. I say my daughter doesn’t need a man who disappears—because I won’t survive watching her heart break the way mine did.
Cole
I walked away from my family’s billions and my playboy reputation for a quiet life in the mountains. I thought I’d escaped my past… until I saw Ava again. The only woman who ever made me want to stay.
And the little girl who has my face.
I have two days to earn the trust I don’t deserve—before my grandfather comes for what’s mine. This time, I’m not running. I’m claiming them.
And I’ll burn my legacy to the ground to keep them safe.
A steamy second-chance instalove romance featuring a reformed playboy turned mountain man, the woman he never forgot, surprise fatherhood, and a whirlwind weekend that proves love always finds a way.
