Always Been You
(2026)(A book in the Maine Hearts: Small-Town Billionaire Romance series)
A novel by Vivy Skys
The man I loved enough to let go is finally coming home.
He has no idea we have a daughter.
Dominic Russo has been off-limits for seven years.
He is my older brother’s tattooed best friend, the mechanic who remembers exactly how I like my pancakes, sees through every joke I use as armor, and makes me want the one thing I have never trusted myself to ask for.
Him.
With only weeks before he leaves Maine for law school, we make rules.
One summer. No promises. No one finds out.
But somewhere between secret nights, stolen mornings, and Dominic taking care of me when my family begins falling apart, our temporary arrangement becomes something neither of us knows how to leave behind.
Then I discover I am pregnant.
Dominic has spent his entire life sacrificing his future for the people he loves. I know that if I tell him about the baby, he will give up law school without hesitation.
He will stay.
And I will never know whether he chose me because he loved me or because two lines on a pregnancy test made the decision for him.
So I let him go without telling him the truth.
Three years later, Dominic is finally coming home. He has his law degree, a new career, and the same devastating ability to make me forget every reason we cannot simply start again.
I should be counting the hours until I see him.
Instead, I am wondering how to tell the only man I have ever loved that the little girl waiting in Maine has his dark curls, his gray eyes, and no idea who her father is.
What happens when Dominic discovers the future I protected came at the cost of his own daughter?
An emotional and spicy brother’s-best-friend romance featuring a secret baby, second chances, a tattooed mechanic turned lawyer, a wealthy bakery-owning heroine, small-town Maine, protective caretaking, no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA.
Genre: Romance
