Mine To Lose (The Heart Remembers #2)

Six years ago, Jennifer Cross walked away from everything.

One whispered lie—that her boyfriend had cheated with her best friend—was enough to shatter her world. She never asked questions. She never looked back.

Now engaged to a man who has never given her reason to doubt him, Jennifer returns home to plan the wedding. Safe. Secure. Steady.
Until she sees Ryan Matthews on the sidewalk… with a little girl holding his hand.

Ryan was the boy she loved, the man she believed betrayed her. But as secrets unravel and old wounds split open, Jennifer discovers the he never stopped fighting for her. He stayed when everyone else would have walked away. He raised a child that wasn’t his. He never stopped loving her, even when she left without a word.

Caught between the life she built and the love she lost, Jennifer faces an impossible choice. One man gave her safety. The other gave her forever.

Because sometimes the greatest heartbreak isn’t what you lose…
It’s realizing who you were meant to keep.
