For six years, I’ve lived with a lie—one I never questioned, because the truth was too painful to consider. I buried my past, faked my death, and walked away from everything, believing I had no reason to stay.
Then my brother sent a text that shattered my world:
Colt’s at my house—with a little girl who looks just like you.
Now, I’m standing in front of the only man I ever loved, looking into the eyes of the daughter I never got to hold. The baby I mourned. The child I thought I lost forever.
Colt Collins has spent the past six years raising our daughter alone, believing I abandoned them both. And I can see it in his eyes—the anger, the betrayal, the love that never truly died. He doesn’t trust me. He doesn’t believe me. And worst of all? He’s engaged to someone else.
I want my daughter back. I want my life back. But first, I have to face the man whose heart I unknowingly broke—and convince him that this time, I’m not walking away.

USA Today Bestselling Author, Victoria Pinder grew up in Irish Catholic Boston before moving to the Miami sun. She’s worked in engineering, after passing many tests proving how easy Math came to her. Then hating her life at the age of twenty four, she decided to go to law school. Four years later, after passing the bar and practicing very little, she realized that she hates the practice of law. She refused to one day turn 50 and realize she had nothing but her career and hours at a desk. After realizing she needed change, she became a high school teacher. Teaching is rewarding, but writing is a passion.
During all this time, she always wrote stories to entertain herself or calm down. Her parents are practical minded people demanding a job, and Victoria spent too many years living other people’s dreams, but when she sat down to see what skill she had that matched what she enjoyed doing, writing became so obvious. The middle school year book when someone wrote in it that one day she’d be a writer made sense when she turned thirty.
She’s always been determined. She is amazing, adventurous and assured on a regular basis. Her website is www.victoriapinder.com.
