Ryan Harris asks his wife of over two years for a divorce one night out of the blues. At first, Becca refuses because she's desperately in love with him, and tries to change his mind, but he makes her life miserable and she has no choice but to leave. However, she finds out just two weeks after she leaves that she's carrying her now ex-husband's child, and at first entertains the notion of getting rid of the baby, but decides to keep it in the end. Seven years later, she's still unmarried, having given up on love, and is raising her beautiful daughter alone when her daughter comes home one day, excited to introduce Becca to her new bestie's father, who turns out to be Ryan. Becca hates him now...or so she tells herself and refuses to let him know that little Emma is his daughter, but for how long will she be able to keep her secret? Even worse, what is she going to do about the secret feelings she still harbors for her ex-husband, who is seeking a reconciliation?

An undeserved second chance

A loud and persistent knock permeated Becca’s sleep, three days after her confrontation with Dan. She ignored it at first, in the hopes that if she did so long enough, whoever was at the door would go away. No such thing happened though, as the person persisted in knocking until she finally had to stand up grudgingly and pad to the door to open it. She did not know anyone here and had no idea who it might be, but when she got there, she saw that it was Dan’s wife who was standing there with a sheepish smile on her face. 


“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize that you were sleeping. I brought some wine, so consider that a peace offering.” Sandra apologized when she noticed that she had woken Becca up from her sleep.
