One doctor. One patient. One terrible lie.
I used to have it all. My ex-boyfriend and I were madly in love and dreamed of starting a family. When I found out I couldn’t have children, it broke me. Now, at my job at the fertility clinic, I give other couples what I could never have.
The day my ex and his new wife walk into my clinic, my heart shatters all over again. He’s back. Now, I stand here with a syringe trembling in my hand and an impossible decision to make:
Do I help them conceive a child—even though I know he’s keeping a dangerous secret?
Or do I protect his wife—my patient, now—and take what’s rightfully mine?
Motherhood is a gift. I want a baby so bad it hurts. My ex knows the dark secrets that haunt my own past too… but has he underestimated how far I’ll go to get the child I’ve always dreamed of?
Only one thing is for certain. If anyone discovers what I’m about to do, it will tear us all apart…
