Ashtine Maze, fierce but wounded, falls for her cold and distant boss, Rich Dawson. She gives him her heart… not knowing she’s just a placeholder for the woman he couldn’t forget. When his ex returns, Rich discards Ashtine like she meant nothing. Shattered and alone, she faces a horrifying near-assault, with no one there to save her. Not even Rich. She vanishes without a trace… carrying his child. Years later, Rich is haunted by what he lost. When he discovers Catiana is his daughter, he sets a ruthless plan in motion: make Ashtine fall for him again and then take the child. But love doesn’t follow plans. He falls. Very Hard. And when Ashtine learns the truth? She walks away, stronger than ever. Now, it’s his turn to break… and wait. Because if she ever returns, it’ll be on her own terms, but with a heart no longer broken, but whole. But can a second chance ever truly mend what was shattered… or will it break them all over again?
