He Left. She Stayed. The Baby Changed Everything.

Three women. Three babies. Three second chances that were never supposed to happen.

In this emotionally charged Velvet Ink collection, love comes too late-or so it seems. These are the men who walked away, were kept in the dark, or made mistakes they couldn't take back. And these are the women who carried their secrets, raised their children, and tried to move on.

• A man who sees his child for the first time through the glass of a cafe window

• A former fling who never knew what that one wild night left behind

• A lost love who learns the truth years too late-just as he's ready to give up for good

Each story delivers intense emotional heat, high-stakes reveals, and heroines who never stopped loving-even when they had every reason to walk away.

He didn't know.

But now he does.

And nothing will ever be the same.
