Her Sister’s Surrogate

Annotation

Blurb Grace has a secret—one that could shatter her family. She is in love with Hunter, her sister Helena’s husband, and the guilt is suffocating. So when their mother and Helena ask her to be Helena’s surrogate, Grace agrees, hoping this sacrifice will atone for her forbidden feelings. But carrying their baby might be the very thing that destroys her. If she is pregnant, once the baby is born, she knows she must leave—escape the torment of watching the man she loves build a life with someone else. But before she even finds out if she’s carrying their child, tragedy strikes, leaving Grace to pick up the broken pieces of their family. As grief and secrets collide, she is forced to navigate a path where love, loyalty, and betrayal blur, leading her toward an impossible choice. Grace never meant for her life to turn out this way-watching from the sidelines as the man she loved married her sister. She had loved Hunter first, but it was Helena he chose. And when their perfect marriage was shattered by the cruel truth that Helena couldn’t have children, it was Grace who made the ultimate sacrifice. Carrying their child was supposed to be an act of love, a gift to her sister, but deep down, she knew it would destroy her. Then came Max-charming, persistent, and nothing like Hunter. With him, Grace glimpses the possibility of happiness, a life where she isn’t just someone else’s shadow. But no matter how hard she tries to move forward, Hunter is always there, a lingering ache she can’t erase. When tragedy strikes, everything changes. Helena is gone, and Grace is left holding the baby-literally. Alone and grieving, Hunter turns to her, convincing her that the only way to protect the child is for them to marry. On paper, it makes sense. In reality, it’s a slow descent into heartache. Because Grace isn’t just fighting the whispers of those who want to tear them apart-she’s fighting the impossible task of filling the void Helena left behind. As secrets begin to surface, unraveling the truth behind the people they thought they knew, Grace is forced to ask herself-was anything ever real? And if Hunter is too broken to love her back, is she strong enough to walk away? Or will she sacrifice herself all over again, hoping this time, love will be enough?
