On her birthday, Elara lost everything... her boyfriend, her best friend, and her faith in humanity. They betrayed her without guilt. Without apology.
Broken and desperate for a reason to live, Elara made a reckless decision.
If love was a lie, then she would create her own reason to survive… a child.
One night, one mistake... The wrong door.
Instead of a charming bartender, Elara spent the night with Jayden Bryes; an untouchable billionaire who had sworn off women after losing the love of his life.
By morning, she vanished, and Jayden never forgot the mysterious woman who shattered his self-control.
Five years later, Elara returns with two sons and a single rule: never reconnect with her past.
But fate laughs.
In just two weeks, she runs into an old enemy…
and gains a new one far more dangerous.
Because the man she thought was a bartender?
He’s back.
And this time, he refuses to let her go.
...
“This is insane. You can’t do this to a stranger!”
“Funny,” he said coldly. “I thought the same thing the night you forced yourself on me.”
Forced myself on...
Wait.
My breath hitched.
“That night…?”
I stared at him. “You’re the bartender?!”
