BENEATH THE BRUISES
One night. One connection. One tragedy that changed everything.

Cybersecurity analyst Isa Rapallino never expected New Year's Eve to give her the most intense night of her life—or that walking home at 4 AM would nearly end it. After a scorching one-night stand with visiting lawyer Kyaire Kavanaugh, Isa is brutally attacked, stabbed, and left for dead by a stalker she never knew she had.

Thirty-eight days in a coma. Forty-one days of agonizing recovery. And a pregnancy she discovers only after waking up.

Kyaire tried to reach her for weeks, his calls going unanswered, his texts unread. He thought she wasn't interested. He had no idea she was fighting for her life—or that she was carrying his son.

When they finally reunite at a Halloween party months later, the connection is still there, burning hotter than ever. But Isa is haunted by nightmares, scarred by trauma, and terrified to trust again. Kyaire is determined to prove he's not going anywhere'''not this time.

As the trial of her attacker looms and the truth about that night comes to light, Isa and Kyaire must decide if their one night together was just a beautiful mistake—or the beginning of forever.

A gritty, emotional, and intensely passionate second chance romance with a guaranteed HEA.
