This book surprised me! I really enjoyed it! This story has a bit of everything and it works well!

However, this new start sends their world into a tailspin. Both husband and wife are hiding something from each other.

While, Harrison is hiding a deadly mistake he made at the hospital where he works as a doctor.

Can their marriage survive these secret or will one or both seek comfort in the arms of strangers?

Mia and Harrison's fertility struggles are a constant and cause a lot martial discourse. While both Mia and Harrison are unsure on how to proceed with their fertility issues,a psychic drops a bomb on Mia by telling her that Oliver will bring her a baby.


Mia doesn't want to lose her marriage to Harrison who she love very much but she can't deny the connection she has with Oliver, the mystery man from her dreams. She is also reeling from the bomb that was dropped by the psychic that Oliver will bring her a baby. Do you believe in fate? Should Mia risk everything for Oliver?


This book ends with a plot twist that I did not see coming. I was genuinely surprised with the ending and i thought that it ended really well.

This book had a lot going on but it all worked for me nothing was too out of left- field to be unbelievable. I think the reader was taken on a journey. A really well thought out and surprisingly gripping until the last page journey.


I think that this book has great potential for a screenplay. This book has an undeniable movie great movie moments and i would watch this book brought to the screen in a heart beat.
