After a heart-wrenching betrayal by the two people she once trusted most, Sienna Tillman was left with nothing: her family, her innocence, and her home, all taken from her. But she didn’t give up. She fought to rebuild her life from the ground up, becoming a renowned jewelry designer and a fiercely loving single mother to her son. But just when Sienna thought her past was finally behind her, it knocked at her door. The man who steps into her life with an unexpected marriage proposal isn’t some stranger—he’s the billionaire who fathered her child. With his irresistible charm and wealth, he could sweep anyone off their feet. But Sienna isn't buying it. "I’m not the same woman you left behind," she warns, her eyes filled with defiance. His gaze softens. "I never meant to hurt you, Sienna. I’m here to make things right…for him. And for us." But how can Sienna resist when her son looks at the man with the same striking gray eyes—eyes that mirror his own? As the truth of the past unfolds, can Sienna protect her heart, or will she fall into the arms of the one man who never stopped loving her? What happens when the past you tried to forget, is the one thing that could heal you?
