Torri Arthur
Six years ago, Maya Collins walked away from the only man she had ever loved, believing he had betrayed her. Daniel Bennett, a wealthy and powerful businessman, was left heartbroken, convinced that Maya had abandoned him for a richer life.
Neither knew that someone had carefully manipulated them, using lies to destroy their relationship.
Now, Maya is back, but she isn’t alone. Beside her is Lia, her five-year-old daughter, a little girl whose life depends on getting the medical treatment her struggling mother can no longer afford.
Desperate to save her child, Maya turns to the one man she swore she would never see again. Daniel agrees to help Lia, but he refuses to forgive the woman who broke his heart. Then he discovers something that changes everything: Lia might be his daughter.
As a paternity test confirms the truth, Daniel must face the five years he has lost with his child, while Maya struggles to protect Lia from the bitterness between her parents. But when old messages and forgotten letters begin to surface, they discover that the story they believed for six years may have been nothing but a carefully constructed lie.
The deeper they investigate, the closer they come to uncovering a devastating family secret involving Daniel’s own mother, Victoria.
With their daughter’s future at stake and their old feelings refusing to disappear, Maya and Daniel must decide whether love is strong enough to survive betrayal, anger, and the truth.
But some secrets are dangerous enough to destroy a family.
Can two hearts separated by a lie find their way back to each other, or will the truth arrive too late to save them?
