She married a stranger behind a mask. She ran before dawn. She never told him about their son. Five years later, Clara Hayes walks into Sterling Enterprises for a job interview — desperate, broke, and out of options — and comes face to face with the husband she never divorced. He doesn't recognize her. Nick Sterling hires her as his personal assistant, never guessing the composed woman across his desk is the same one who vanished from his life on their wedding night. Clara tells herself it's temporary. She tells herself she'll quit before the truth comes out. But she has a son who deserves a father. A mother-in-law who already suspects her past. And ninety days before a paternity test blows her secret wide open — and hands it straight to the one person inside Sterling Enterprises who's been waiting years for a way to destroy them both. Clara built her whole life on running. This time, there's nowhere left to go.
