What it is
A sexy Friends to Lovers, Secret Baby, Forbidden Dark romance
He has a fiancée. But I’m carrying his secret.
I’ve been in love with Declan McCarthy for years. He’s dangerous. Forbidden. Already promised to another woman.
Every instinct told me to run the night he kissed me. I stayed anyway.
Now I’m carrying his baby and he doesn’t know it.
Declan’s sense of duty keeps him blind to the one person who’s loved him all along. I’ve spent years pining for a man who can't chose me.
Except now I can't hide this secret anymore.
If the truth comes out, I become a target. And the only man standing between me and the vengeance that's going to unleash is Declan.
Too bad, they don’t know he’s also the man who will burn the whole world down before he lets anyone touch what's his.
Tropes: - Accidental pregnancy - Surprise baby - Secret hookups - Forbidden love - Found family - Friends to lovers - Hurt/comfort - Irish hero - Virgin heroine
