Nick Carrero and Rachel Hunt were never supposed to become complicated.

What began as attraction has turned into something neither of them planned, and now a pregnancy has tied them together in a way neither can simply walk away from.

Rachel has had enough of being hurt. After everything Nick has said and done, trusting him again feels impossible. She is determined to stand on her own, protect her heart, and build a life that belongs to her; not her family, her past, or the man who keeps throwing her emotions into chaos.

Nick is struggling with a future he never expected. But as the reality of becoming a father sinks in, denial gives way to something far more powerful. He doesn't want to appear when the baby is born and call himself a dad. He wants to be there for all of it.

The problem is Rachel no longer believes his words.

With old relationships refusing to stay buried, jealousy simmering, emotions running high, and an attraction neither of them seems capable of killing, Nick and Rachel are caught in a relentless push and pull between everything that tore them apart and everything still drawing them together.

Some connections are impossible to break.

But wanting each other was never their problem.

Trusting each other might be.
