But just as she tries to move on, fate delivers two harsh blows—a mounting family debt and a surprise pregnancy. Determined not to crawl back, Pearl steels herself to face the world alone. But Henry isn’t ready to let her go… and neither is the powerful bond that still ties them. Can Pearl truly break free, or will her heart betray her one final time?
