The Wife He Left Behind: A Billionaire Secret Pregnancy Marriage in Crisis Grovel Romance (Hers to Forgive Book 1)

He left for Singapore a rich man. He comes home a billionaire—to a wife who stopped waiting and a daughter who doesn't know his name.

I closed my bakery for Daniel. I put my whole life on hold for Daniel. And when the Singapore project needed him for a few months, I told myself a few months was nothing, six years in.

It wasn't a few months.

It was almost two years. It was every call that never went through, every message that got lost, every version of me trying to reach him getting quietly rerouted by the woman running his office like it was hers. By the time I understood what Charlotte Proctor had been doing to every attempt I made, I was seven weeks pregnant and completely, finally alone.

I had my daughter without him. I rebuilt Honey & Rye without him. I stopped flinching at his name without him.

Now the tower's finished, the deal's done, and Daniel Welling is standing in my kitchen—richer than he's ever been, and a stranger to the daughter he's never met.

He wants back in. He wants to meet his daughter. He wants me.

He's going to have to earn every single one of those, in that order, starting with the truth about what—and who—kept us apart.

A Billionaire Secret Pregnancy Marriage in Crisis Grovel Romance—real separation, no on-page cheating by either lead, a rival who proves she has other options, and a husband who has to lose something real before he gets to keep her. Explicit heat once the grovel has begun. HEA guaranteed.
