I gave my heart to a stranger
on a winter night meant to be forgotten.
One night.
One mistake.
One secret I’ve protected for six years.
Now Elijah Baird is back—
my boss,
my temptation,
the man who doesn’t know he’s already a father.
I tried to tell him once.
Another woman answered his phone.
So I chose silence… and a child to protect.
Every day he steps closer—
to my job,
to my home,
to my son who looks at him like he belongs.
Every touch feels forbidden.
Every kiss feels stolen.
And every lie tightens around my throat.
Because if the truth comes out,
I won’t just lose his love—
I could lose my career, my safety, my heart.
This Valentine’s Day,
do I confess the baby he never knew…
or let him claim me without knowing the truth?
