Vivian Ashford
The night Ava discovered she was pregnant, she thought her husband, Ethan Blackwood, would be the happiest man alive. Instead, she overheard the truth that shattered her heart: Ethan had never truly chosen her.
For three years, Ava had loved the cold billionaire with everything she had. She stood beside him when his company nearly collapsed, protected his secrets, and waited for the day he would finally love her. But Ethan confessed that he had married her only because he had no other choice. His family wanted another woman, and his heart belonged to someone else.
Heartbroken, Ava walked away.
What Ethan never knew was that she was carrying his children.
Three babies.
Triplets.
Ava disappeared before Ethan could learn the truth, determined to raise her children far from the man who had broken her heart.
Five years later, she returns with three beautiful children and one promise: Ethan Blackwood will never know they are his.
But fate has other plans.
One encounter is enough for Ethan to notice the three children whose faces look hauntingly familiar. Suspicious, he begins investigating Ava, following her and watching the children. The ruthless billionaire who once wanted nothing to do with his wife becomes desperate to discover why she vanished.
Then the truth comes out.
Those three children are his—and they have been calling another man Daddy.
Ethan wants his family back, but Ava is no longer the broken woman who begged him for love. She survived five years without him, and she refuses to forgive him because he regrets losing her.
Now Ethan must prove that his love is stronger than his pride, his past, and the woman who once came between them.
He lost Ava before he ever knew about their triplets.
This time, winning her back will cost him everything.
