Sylvia Lincolm is an orphan and a single mom who’s done everything to raise her five-year-old twin daughters on her own. Their life is simple but filled with love—and that’s all she’s ever wanted. But everything begins to fall apart when she crosses paths with the friends of Rome Hariston—the man who once promised her forever, only to break her heart and leave without ever knowing she was pregnant.

Rome’s friends notice the striking resemblance between him and the twins, stirring up questions Sylvia has tried to avoid for years. Now, with her past threatening to collide with her present, Sylvia must protect her daughters—and her heart—from the man who once left her behind… but might never let her go again.
