Couri Mitchell:
August was the silent type, strong and dependable, the one who made me feel safe. I was ready to open up, to trust him with parts of myself I’d never shown anyone. But then the truth hit—there was a baby. A chance he might still want me, if only he could accept the life we now shared.
August Hanson:
Couri was my type—confident, powerful, and someone I wanted forever. I was ready to claim her, but then the truth came out—she had a child. A chance she might still love me, if only I could accept them both.
