Scarlett Devereaux and Oakley—better known as Central Cee—once had the kind of love people only dream about. They met young, fell hard, and secretly married despite the chaos surrounding Oakley’s rising career and dangerous reputation. Scarlett was the only person who could see beyond the fame, money and tough exterior. Until one night destroyed everything. Pregnant and desperate to tell Oakley he was going to be a father, Scarlett watched their marriage collapse during one explosive argument. His final words—“Get out.”—were enough to make her disappear from his life forever. Oakley never knew Scarlett was carrying his child. Nine months later, Scarlett has a secret of her own: Maddex, a little boy with Oakley’s dark curls, his features, and Scarlett’s unmistakable green eyes. Then one desperate phone call brings Scarlett and Oakley face-to-face again. He expects anger. He expects hatred. He doesn’t expect a baby boy looking at him with the same eyes he had tattooed onto his skin years ago. Now Oakley has to face the woman he never stopped loving, the son he never knew existed, and the devastating truth that the family he thought he’d lost may have been waiting for him all along.
