“It’s not that I don’t love him. It’s that I feel selfish for loving him.”

Wyatt Worth has been a grieving widower for 12 long years, devoting himself fully to his work and the care of his daughter, Temperance. But when circumstances bring him face-to-face with the lover he ghosted 12 years ago, Wyatt has to make an important choice: Does he make room in his heart for love, or does he commit himself to his loneliness for the rest of his life?

“Even after all this time, I can’t stop the way my heart beats faster for him. But I won’t be anyone’s dirty little secret. Not again.”

Vance Waite was only 19 when he had an affair with Wyatt after the passing of Wyatt’s wife - but it left a lasting impression. For years he hasn’t allowed himself to move on, Wyatt’s handprint still embedded in his heart. Now that the little girl he dreamed of raising himself is a student in his classroom, there’s no more hiding from what was - but more importantly, Vance has to decide if he can trust in the possibility of what could be.
