Falling for someone new seventy-six days after your husband dies? That's not in the grief rulebook.
Theresa Carideo thought she knew what survival looked like—raising four heartbroken children alone while fighting a corporate shark determined to destroy everything she and her late husband built together. Romance wasn't just off the table. It wasn't even in the building.
Then Patrick McCrae walked in.
A rugged Scottish widower with six children of his own, Patrick understands her grief in ways no one else can. He sees past her armor. And the heat between them? It's the kind that burns through guilt, logic, and every promise she made to herself.
But moving on this fast comes with a price. Ten kids watching. A legacy under siege. And a heart still raw from loss.
Some will call it too soon. Some will call it reckless. Theresa calls it terrifying—because Patrick McCrae might be exactly what she needs to survive.
The origin story of the Scottish Billionaire series—where love, loss, and second chances collide.
Genre: Romance
