Second-chance romance tangled with a decade-old secret
Aurora Miller's trust in love cracked the night her pen pal vanished in a downpour, leaving her alone on a rain-slick street. Years later she impulsively weds Damien Hawke, a dignified former sailor whose steady presence feels like shelter. The marriage certificate barely dries before she recognizes his handwriting — he is the ghost who never arrived. Now bound by law and shared meals, each quiet hallway and breakfast table reopens the wound, forcing both to decide whether the comfort they've rebuilt can outweigh the abandonment that shaped her.
