Family Secrets, and Lies Series Book 2

He denied his son.
He betrayed the woman who trusted him.
Now, he’s back—and nothing is simple anymore.

Five intense days were all it took to change everything.
Jasmine Journee gave Leonardo Baldi her heart—and ended up with a
lifetime reminder of the man who walked away. He knew about their
child. He looked her in the eye and still chose to turn his back. Now,
years later, he’s returned full of regret, promises, and eyes that
still make her burn.

Leonardo has made plenty of mistakes, but none haunt him like denying
his son. He’s ready to take responsibility, to show up—for real this
time. For Jasmine. For the boy he refused to claim. But proving he’s
not just there for the heat they still can’t resist means digging
deep… and healing the damage he caused.

Jasmine has never stopped protecting her son—and letting his father
into their world might be the riskiest move of all. Especially when
she’s now the one with secrets. Especially when her heart still
remembers the man who broke it.

Surrounded by the chaos of a newly discovered family and a connection
that refuses to fade, they’ll have to figure out if redemption is
enough… or if some wounds cut too deep.

Can a man who once walked away finally become the one who stays?
