The Wrong Number

Sometimes the wrong number changes everything. Aisley never meant to send that text. One accidental message—nothing more than a simple mistake. What she didn't expect was for it to lead her back to Bronx. Her brother's best friend. The man she once loved. The one person she never truly got over. Reconnecting with Bronx should feel familiar—but Aisley is hiding something. A secret she's learned to carry quietly. A situation that already cost her more than she's willing to admit. She knows someone has hurt her. She knows the fear hasn't faded. And she knows that trusting Bronx with the truth isn't something she's ready to do—not yet. Bronx never meant to walk away from Aisley. Loving her was never the problem—protecting her was. But when fate puts her back in his life through one wrong number, he realizes some mistakes don't stay buried. And when he senses the fear she refuses to explain, walking away is no longer an option. As old feelings resurface and buried truths come to light, Aisley is forced to confront more than just the past. Trust isn't easy when you've learned to survive instead of live—but with Bronx at her side, she begins to understand what safety really means. This is a story about second chances, choosing love without losing yourself, and finding strength in the people who never leave.
