You thought transferring to the most prestigious hospital in the country would be the fresh start you and your one-year-old daughter, Cali, deserved. Instead, it became your worst nightmare. On your very first day, you’re called into the office of the hospital’s owner, Nikolai Mikhailov—the brilliant, powerful surgeon everyone admires. Only… he’s also the man you spent one unforgettable night with a year ago. The father of your daughter. The man who has no idea she exists. Working under Nikolai means hiding the biggest secret of your life while pretending he’s just your boss. But every conversation, every lingering glance, and every moment spent together makes it harder to ignore the undeniable connection between you. The only problem? Nikolai already has a wife, Selena Mikhailov, and a four-year-old son, Ryder. To the world, they have the perfect family and the perfect life. If the truth comes out, it won’t just change your life—it could destroy his. Will you keep your daughter’s identity a secret to protect everyone involved… or risk everything by telling the man who never knew he had another child? Sometimes, the biggest heartbreak isn’t falling in love. It’s realizing you were never supposed to.
