He Carried His Heir

A drunken mistake turns into a three-year contract marriage when Veyron heir Rhydian Asterhall asks Caelan Wycliffe to become his legal husband. Their rules are simple: separate rooms, separate lives, no feelings, no promises. But while Rhydian clings to the memory of his first love, Caelan quietly becomes the person who knows him best. For three years, Caelan gives Rhydian a home without ever truly being allowed to call it one. Then Rhydian’s first love returns, old wounds reopen, and Caelan finally realizes that love should not require him to disappear. After a painful betrayal, an injury, and a pregnancy he never expected, Caelan signs the divorce papers and leaves with their unborn child. One hundred and twenty-eight days later, Rhydian finds him again at the restoration of an old theater. Caelan is pregnant, independent, and no longer waiting to be chosen. This time, Rhydian cannot fix what he broke with money, power, or a family name. He has to learn how to listen without interrupting, stay without controlling, and love without making Caelan smaller.
