Cameron

The first time I laid eyes on Tally Steele was across the flower-strewn aisle at my brother Maxs wedding.

Something electric shot through me.

Her sleeve of tattoos caught the light when she raised a champagne glass, rainbow-tipped hair falling across one eye as she whispered something that made the bride double over laughing.

Nothing like the women I usually bring to charity galas.

My world is medical conferences and family trust funds.

Hers is tattoo needles and a childhood that never gave her anything steady.

None of that matters.

Because from the moment I saw her, I was already gone.

Even if she tried to keep my baby a secret from me.

Tally

I dont deserve someone like Cameron.

Hes Johns Hopkins Medical School with a side of chiseled jawline. Im a tattoo artist with a past I cant outrun.

Every time he looks at me, I wait for the moment he realizes his mistake.

So when he tells me hes leaving for Doctors Without Borders, I let him go.

I help him go.

Then the pregnancy test happens.

Two pink lines that change everything and nothing.

I tell him the baby isnt his.

I tell myself its the right thing.

Even when he comes back.

Even when he looks at our daughter like shes his whole world.

Even when it feels like Im breaking something Ill never be able to fix.

He chose her from the start.

She made sure he walked away.

But when the truth comes out, she might lose the only man who ever loved herand the family she never believed she deserved.

The Malibu Secret is a steamy contemporary romance perfect for readers who love Emily Henry, Ali Hazelwood, and Abby Jimenez, featuring golden retriever/black cat dynamics, secret baby drama, emotional slow burn, found family, and a deeply angsty love story with a guaranteed happily ever after.
