WHAT LOVE LEFT BEHIND
Diamond Lenox

Asha has built a life out of survival, not softness. Six years of late nights, missed calls, and raising Nova on her own have taught her not to expect anyone to stay. Especially not Bronx—the man who left her heart cracked wide open.
But when Bronx walks back in, determined to prove he’s not the same man who disappeared, everything she’s fought to protect is suddenly on the line. Nova is brilliant, sharp, and far from a typical six-year-old. She doesn’t just need a father—she needs one who shows up, one who works for the place he’s asking to claim.
Bronx swears he’s ready to put in the work. To be the man Asha once believed he could be. To build something real for their daughter. But love isn’t instant. Trust isn’t easy. And some wounds cut deeper than time alone can heal.
This isn’t your typical secret baby romance. It’s a slow burn full of tension, forgiveness, and the raw truth that sometimes the hardest battles are the ones fought at home—where love either rises…or breaks.
