Keva’s built her life on a foundation of quiet resilience—raising her daughter, running her café, and keeping her past firmly locked away. But when a long-buried secret resurfaces, threatening to shatter the delicate balance she’s created, she can’t keep running. Not from the truth, and certainly not from Maxwell.

Maxwell knows Keva better than she’d like to admit. The easygoing medical student and her not-so-secret protector, he’s been by her side through years of friendship, heartache, and everything in between. But when her carefully guarded secret—a pregnancy no one knew about—comes to light, Maxwell realizes just how much of Keva’s world he’s never been allowed into.

As their lives intertwine more than ever, unspoken feelings and unresolved pain bubble to the surface. Together, they must confront a past full of mistakes, regret, and betrayal—and decide if their future can hold something brighter.
