"I was scared!" she cried, interrupting him. "You're a married man, you have a wife now, and I didn't want to ruin that. I didn't know how you'd react. And I didn't want my children… our children… to be caught in the middle of more pain."

He looked at her in shock, breath caught in his throat. "You just said… our daughter earlier," he said slowly.

Yes," she answered. "Jasmine and Hanith. They're yours."

Aaron's breath hitched, stumbled back a step, staring at her like he was seeing her for the first time again.

"You told me they weren't mine," he whispered.

"I lied," she admitted. "Because I was scared. I wanted to protect them. I thought if you knew, you'd take them away. And I also thought you wouldn't want them because you are married now."

"Five years," he murmured, his voice barely audible. "I had children... and never knew." He clenched his jaw, struggling to process everything. 

"They are your children," she said softly. "And now your daughter needs you."

A single mother, Katherine Prescott was the perfect definition of a B3 classy lady—beautiful, brainy, and brave. She worked her ass off to ensure her children never lacked, building a name for herself while running from the unwanted attachment of the past.

But when the past she thought she'd left behind the day she fled with her babies came crashing against the walls she'd built—six years later—everything she buried resurfaced.

What if the forgotten spark and desires kept pulling her back into the very past she wanted to forget? What if her babies wouldn't stop asking about their father? Can she really give him a second chance at love… and risk losing herself to passion again?

Aaron Knight was a celebrity. He never believed he'd see her again. But there she was—still breathtaking, still beautiful as ever. He wasn't letting her go this time. He would get her back, by hook or by crook.

Two problems: he was married… and she was already a mother.

I welcome you to Aaron x Katherine's story.


I'm so excited for this book. Well, I'm just writing this after Chapter 101 😂 funny, right?


So, this book has a special place in my heart. It is about healing, forgiveness, second chances, intimacy, parenting, angst, hurt, betrayal and communication.


I can't begin to say how much Katherine and Aaron mean to me—even Amanda (I want to hug her also).


And there's our knight in shining armor, Mathew. Good girl Amelia and comic relief Raymond (I didn't actually plan Raymond in this book, but I don't know how he entered this world and started working himself *laughing*).


And then there's Hanith, my little angel. I like Hanith—he's my favorite.


My characters can't wait to see you lost in their world.


This is a slow burn! Don't expect a kiss in Chapter 50?! They need to solve their differences and everything first.


This is a second chance book for a reason—they need to go back and forth with doubt, skepticism, and fear to move forward.


Btw, no cheating. The MC didn't cheat. I don't write cheating characters!


Please don't give up on my book. I hope you like it as much as I like writing it. It might be slow from the beginning, but it picks up in the later part. You'll truly enjoy it.


Comment! (this Is the main dish. Please I appreciate comment even if it's emoji or gif. That'll lemme know if the book is okay or not) 


Don't be stingy, please do drop a good review!:)
