She was running for her life, cornered by a debt she never meant to owe. One desperate night pushed her into the arms of a stranger… a man carved from discipline, danger, and a past soaked in shadows. An ex-military ghost with no name, no attachments, and eyes that stripped her down to the truth. He saved her. Protected her. And in return, he asked for one thing: a single night. She fled the morning after, leaving behind the deal, the man… and the consequences growing silently inside her. Years later, she returns with a child who carries the very features she tried to forget. He never stopped waiting. Never stopped wanting the woman who disappeared without a word. And when he sees her again, he doesn’t just recognize her. He recognizes what’s his. A story of forbidden desire, unfinished nights, and a love that refuses to stay buried.
