Description: On what should have been the happiest day of her life, Sophie Bennett stands in her wedding gown and watches the spotlight find an empty doorway instead of her groom. The man she spent seven years loving-brilliant young doctor Ethan Sterling-doesn't just fail to show up for their wedding. He shatters everything they built together. With her trust destroyed and a child already growing inside her, Sophie makes a choice that costs her more than anyone will ever understand: she leaves the life they planned behind and vanishes before Ethan can pull her back in. Starting over in a new city is supposed to be simple. Work. Survive. Heal. But Ethan refuses to let go, flooding her new life with apologies, memories, and desperate promises that come far too late. And while Sophie fights to protect the fragile peace she has rebuilt, an unexpected new connection begins to show her what care without betrayal might look like. Caught between the wreckage of her past and the possibility of something gentler, Sophie must decide whether some loves are worth saving-or whether walking away is the only way to save herself. Because this time, if Ethan wants her back, regret won't be enough.
