Seven years ago, Chole Qinn was the campus laughingstock, a chubby girl secretly dating the most unattainable man at UCLA, Peter Hayes. Their love ended in heartbreak when cruel words from him shattered her self-worth, and she disappeared from his world without a trace. Now she’s Naomi Wells, slim, composed, and a single mother raising a six-year-old daughter with a heart condition. When she brings her daughter to the hospital, fate plays a cruel trick, the attending doctor is Peter Hayes himself. He doesn’t recognize her, nor does he know the child he’s treating is his own. Caught between fear and longing, Naomi Wells tries to keep her secret buried. But Peter Hayes can’t ignore the strange pull he feels toward this gentle, guarded woman, or the little girl who feels hauntingly familiar. When memories resurface, secrets unravel, and love collides with guilt, how far will they go to heal the wounds of the past? A story of reunion, redemption, and a love that endures despite time, pain, and disguise.
