She's built her life on her own terms. He's fighting to protect what matters most. And his past refuses to stay buried. Andi Doyle owns the best coffee shop in South Boston and pours her heart into everything she's built. What she won't do is be anyone's secret-not after her ex convinced her she wasn't worth claiming. So when Gavin Byrne walks into her life with his devastating smile and undeniable pull, she makes one thing clear: she won't be hidden. Gavin knows Andi is different from their very first stolen glance through her shop window. But between protecting his daughter, navigating a toxic co-parenting situation, and maintaining the fragile peace he's fought to build, letting someone in feels risky. When he asks Andi to wait-just a little longer-he never imagines what it will cost them both. One public confrontation. One heartbreaking choice. And Andi slams the door on what they could have been. But Gavin didn't get where he is by walking away when things get hard. He's ready to fight for what matters-even if it means confronting the parts of his own life that can no longer stay the same. Because some secrets are worth revealing. Some battles are worth fighting. And some women are worth risking everything for.
