Our Unexpected Beginning (Club Surrender #4)

Two hearts, one wild night, and a future they never expected…

Julia's life has always been a delicate balancing act on the tightrope of conditional love. In her family, affection was never freely given—it was rationed out with stipulations, like poker chips at a high-stakes game. Her brother was always put on a pedestal, a pressure that ultimately led to his tragic death, leaving Julia with scars she couldn't ignore. In stark contrast, Graham's existence has been haunted by the shadow of an illicit affair, leaving him drowning in debts and responsibilities that weren't his to bear.

Their worlds collide in a whirlwind of passion neither of them anticipated. What was supposed to be a fleeting encounter ignites into something neither of them expected, as their casual curiosity about one another deepened into a burning desire to uncover each other's secrets.

Fiercely independent and wary of emotional entanglements, Julia struggles with the notion of bringing a child into a world where love has always come with strings attached. Her past has taught her that love can suffocate, binding people with invisible chains. For Graham, the revelation is a visceral shock. Haunted by dark shadows of his past and the crushing weight of his father's sins, he doubts his ability to be a good parent.

Despite the gravity of their situation, Julia and Graham can't ignore the undeniable chemistry that sparks between them. Their initial animosity and mistrust give way to intense, magnetic attraction. The passion that ignited during their first encounter only grows stronger, creating a bond that neither of them can easily dismiss.

As they navigate this tumultuous and uncertain journey, Julia and Graham are forced to confront their deepest fears and insecurities. In a world where love has always come with conditions, will they rewrite their story and find a bond that’s truly unconditional? Or are some wounds too deep to heal?
