Fate Interrupted

Lauren 'Ren' Baker thought she'd moved on. Big city, career, husband-check, check, check. But then it all fell apart. Now she's scrubbing off every box she ever ticked, back in her hometown, waiting for a divorce, sleeping in her teenage bedroom, and face-to-face with her first love-the one she never really got over.

Gio Regali likes to keep himself controlled-flashy car, private offline life, measured emotions. Love? That's off-limits. Especially now. Seeing Ren again throws his carefully balanced world into chaos, awakening feelings he's spent years trying to bury.

Their attraction is immediate and impossible to ignore-just like it was all those years ago. But while Ren sees their reunion as a second chance at the future they once imagined, Gio is convinced they can't have one. Guarded and stubborn, he's hiding a life-changing diagnosis that's left him convinced he's too damaged to be loved. As he fights to push her away, Ren is left wondering why a man who so clearly wants her refuses to let her back in.

As old wounds reopen and long-buried truths finally come to light, they'll have to decide whether the future they lost was fate... or merely Fate Interrupted.
