One night. No names. No expectations.

Just two strangers trying to forget—until the moment refuses to be forgotten.

 

Dr. Desmond Wilder has no time for chaos. As a single father and one of the most respected obstetricians at Saint Ambrose Memorial, every second of his life is calculated—especially now that he’s in line for Chief of Obstetrics. But everything shifts when he walks into his daughter’s summer program … and sees her.

 

Yara Sinclair never expected to see him again. Their one night together was supposed to mean nothing. He doesn’t even know her name. But now, he’s standing in the very school she built for children grieving the loss of a mother—exactly the kind of grief that shaped them both.

 

What begins as quiet distance turns into curiosity. And as walls slowly fall, they discover that maybe some moments are meant to find their way back—no matter how much time has passed.

 

Now Desmond has to decide if ambition is worth the cost of the one thing he swore he’d never open again—his heart.
