When I thought my life couldn't get any lower, I found myself working at Tease.
The strip club was known for its prestigious clientele and well looked after girls.
I presumed I had what it took. I was desperate, alone, and I didn't see any other way to make a living.
So I faked the smile, ignored the rude comments, and worked.
My first night in the private booths, everything fell apart. I fell apart.
And then entered Cole Connor-my saviour.
He had me at: 'Are you okay?'
We shared an unforgettable night together. At least, it was for me.
Then he left, and I never saw him again.
But I never forgot him. Not his sweet touch, not his kisses, or how he made me feel.
I also couldn't because he left me with a precious gift-one I didn't know I needed.
A gift that became my biggest secret because I didn't want people to know my boss got me pregnant.
Years later, he's back. When he sees me with Poppy on the day my life turns upside down, I know my secret is out.
He isn't the man I remember him to be. He is domineering, angry, and his words slice through me like a knife.
But beneath all that rage and hurt, he's just another broken soul like me.
He has his own demons. His own secrets.
And everything is about to be unveiled.
Everyone has a story, and this is ours.
