“Behind her silence is a secret. Behind his anger is regret.” Nyra thought she could survive anything. Poverty. Loneliness. Even the cold weight of working under Cassian Rhys—the ruthless billionaire who barked orders at her until her hands shook. But one night changed everything. A single, broken moment with him left her carrying more than just regret. It left her carrying his child. When Cassian fired her and cut her down like she was nothing, Nyra made the only choice she thought she had: disappear. She vanished into a city that never noticed her, raising her son in the shadows, surviving on scraps, and holding her silence like armor. Six years later, her little boy wants to know the truth. Who his father is. Why he’s never around. Why she looks away every time Cassian’s name slips into conversation. Nyra promised herself she’d never go back. Cassian promised himself he’d never feel again. But when their worlds collide once more, silence won’t be enough to hide the secrets, the lies, or the love that never truly burned out. And when the past resurfaces with claws sharp enough to tear them apart, Nyra will have to fight for more than just herself… She’ll have to fight for her son.
