Broken Bonds

She thought her biggest challenge was raising her son alone. He thought he had nothing to offer her. They were both wrong.

Eloise Hayes has built a quiet life in Charleston with her son, Adam. Independent and strong-willed, she balances motherhood with her career as a writer, determined never to need the man who abandoned her before Adam was born. But when her estranged parents reappear-with plans to push her back into the arms of her manipulative ex, Mark Davidson-her world begins to unravel.

Detective Jamison Main knows about broken families. Abandoned as a child, he grew up believing he wasn't worth keeping. Now, as danger closes in on Eloise and Adam, Jamison can't stay on the sidelines. He falls hard-for Adam's laughter, for Eloise's fire, for the family he never believed he could have.

But Mark and Eloise's parents have their own plan: take Adam, force Eloise's hand, and unlock the fortune they believe is theirs. When Adam is kidnapped, Jamison must risk everything-his career, his life, his heart-to bring him home.

A gripping tale of romance, betrayal, and second chances, Eloise and Jamison's story proves that sometimes love is not just a choice, but the fight of your life.

She never planned to fall for a detective. He never thought he deserved love. Her family wanted her money. Her ex, control. But when her son is kidnapped by the family who betrayed her, only their love-and his determination-can bring them all home.
