Shattered Vows, Stolen Nights

Five years. She gave five years of her soul to a man who never truly wanted her heart - only her silence. The night Valerie Ashton walked out of her marriage, she walked straight into the arms of a stranger whose touch felt like fire and whose name she never asked for. One reckless night. One irreversible consequence. Now she is pregnant, alone, and starting over in a city that eats the weak alive. But just when she finds her footing - the stranger calls. And his voice tells her what her gut already knows. This was never accidental. She was never just a stranger to him. And the child she carries? It may be the most powerful secret in all of Crestholm City.
