Founding a story with You
She faked her death to escape her past. He never expected to fall for a kindergarten teacher. But some stories write themselves.
Claire Anna Frank is a sweet, dedicated kindergarten teacher living a quiet life—until Kennedy Scott Walker walks through her classroom door.
Kennedy is a 26-year-old CEO, impossibly handsome, and way out of her league. He's also the uncle of her students, the twin girls Diana and Jenny. Their first meeting is ordinary. Their second? Not so much. After a night out with friends, a tipsy Claire pokes his nose, calls him "such a cutie," and changes everything.
What follows is a slow burn neither of them saw coming: coffee spills, stolen glances, late-night texts, and quiet moments that feel like something more. Kennedy starts showing up—at her apartment, at lunch, in her thoughts when she's supposed to be grading artwork. And Claire? She's falling. Hard.
But Claire is hiding something.
Her real name is Claire Franklin Hemelia—daughter of two legendary superstars, heiress to a family of Hollywood royalty. Two years ago, she was falsely accused of scandalous affairs with powerful men in the industry. Betrayed by her own parents and destroyed by the media, Claire did the unthinkable: she faked her death and disappeared, leaving behind everything to become someone new.
Now, as Kennedy gets closer, the walls Claire built to protect herself begin to crack. Every smile, every touch, every "I came here because you were here" pulls her deeper into something she swore she'd never risk again—being seen.
But secrets don't stay buried forever. And when the truth starts to surface, Claire will have to choose: keep running, or trust that Kennedy might just love her for who she really is.
A heartwarming, emotional romance about second chances, hidden identities, and finding love when you least expect it.
