Hidden Hearts

Hayes showed up to a backyard barbecue expecting burnt burgers and small talk. Instead, he found out he has a two-year-old daughter. Mine. The shock hits. Then the anger. Not just because I kept the truth from him-but because after one reckless night, I couldn't find him even if I tried. And just when I think the fallout can't get worse? He walks into my office as our new high-powered executive. Now I'm stuck co-parenting with the most controlled, demanding man I've ever met-and to Hayes, there's only one way to handle our situation. His way. I should be terrified of what that means for my carefully built life. But I don't expect the way he looks at our daughter-with complete, fierce devotion. Or the way his eyes linger on me like we're unfinished business. Then there's a kiss. One night. And suddenly, lines blur. I kept a secret-now he's insistent that I belong to him and he's staking his future on us... This is the second book in the Haven Crossroads series, where city-billionaire egos meet small-town hearts. Can be read in order or as a standalone.
