Simone Wade has spent five years living with a truth she never meant to keep. A secret that grows heavier with each passing day. A secret with her lost love's eyes, his smile, and a thousand questions she doesn't know how to answer. Her son is the center of her world. His father is the love she never healed from—and the man she hurt most, who has no idea his child exists.

What began as an undeniable connection became the greatest silence of her life. One born from grief, fear, and a trauma she never learned to outrun. Simone told herself she would tell him. Tomorrow. Next week. When she was stronger. But fear has a way of turning days into years, and \"later\" into \"never.\"

Then Raschad Carter walks back into her life.

Now the truth she buried is no longer hers alone, and the man she once loved must face the years he lost, the son he never knew, and the woman who made an unforgivable choice in the name of survival.

The fallout is devastating. Raschad wants answers. He wants a relationship with the child he never knew existed. And he wants distance from the woman who shattered his trust and stole years he can never reclaim.

But wanting distance doesn't erase the love that never died, or the magnetic pull drawing them back together despite the wreckage between them. Raschad is forced to navigate an impossible co-parenting with a woman he can't forgive but has never stopped loving. Simone must face the full weight of her choice—the damage it caused to everyone she loves, the trauma that drove her to make it, and the question of whether some betrayals are simply too deep to overcome.

Now the past they never resolved collides with the future they never planned. Anger battles longing. Distance becomes proximity. And co-parenting forces two wounded people to confront what still exists between them—whether they're ready or not.

Because forgiveness isn't a single moment. It's a reckoning. Some wounds don't heal with time, and some betrayals demand more than apologies. They demand truth, change, and the courage to rebuild something fragile from the ground up.

Caught between the family they could have been and the wreckage of what they are, Simone and Raschad must decide whether love can survive the unforgivable—or if some secrets destroy everything they touch, including second chances.

Always Mine is a deeply emotional second-chance romance about fear, accountability, healing, and the slow work of choosing each other again—even when forgiveness feels impossible.

Perfect for readers who - Emotional second-chance romances with high stakes- Black love, family legacy, and community- Realistic co-parenting arcs- A hurt hero who still loves fiercely- A heroine learning to forgive herself- Deep intimacy and earned HEA- The hard work of healing through love

Book Two in The Wade Legacy, an interconnected standalone.
