Behind closed doors, her father’s fists ruled her childhood, and his closest friend stole what little innocence she had left—leaving her with a secret that grows heavier by the day. When she discovers she’s pregnant, Lori knows one thing with terrifying if she stays, neither she nor her baby will survive. With nothing but courage and desperation, she runs. Broken, exhausted, and carrying more than just a child, Lori finds refuge at a local women’s mission—a place built for second chances. She expects judgment. She expects pity. She doesn’t expect Logan. Logan is the mission’s volunteer attorney—steady, guarded, and fiercely protective of the women who walk through those doors. The moment he sees Lori, something shifts. He doesn’t see shame. He doesn’t see scandal. He sees a woman who deserves safety. A future. A family. And he decides she won’t fight alone ever again. But healing isn’t simple, and love doesn’t erase trauma. As Lori learns to trust again and step into her own strength, she’ll have to decide if she can accept the fierce devotion of a man who’s already claimed her and her child as his own. Because sometimes salvation isn’t about being rescued. Sometimes it’s about being chosen. less
