ANCHOR OF HEARTS
[Slow Burn Romance & Mature Contents]
Living behind a carefully crafted disguise, Selina once believed she had finally grasped the dream she had yearned for: marrying the man she had admired from a distance. She envisioned a life filled with joy and love, a fairy tale where he would sweep her off her feet and transform her world.
But as the years rolled by, Selina's reality shattered under the weight of Zane’s cold indifference. For two long years, she devoted herself silently, only to be blindsided by a harsh truth—she was merely a pawn in Zane’s plans.
Devastation washed over her as she buried her feelings deep inside, vowing to take control of her own life once and for all. Just when she believed she could finally break free, fate dealt her another blow—she discovered she was pregnant with Zane’s child.
Determined, Selina embarked on a journey of self-discovery, rising higher than those expectations from those who looked down on her, but she couldn't have a taste of a peaceful, single life. However, Zane is relentless in not letting her go, no matter the cost.
He is determined to win her back.
But, this time, Selina isn't the same person who'd risk her heart to be trampled on. This time she's different and wants nothing to do with him.

Excerpt.
“I need to start bonding with my child—from now, not later,” he said, his voice carrying a quiet honesty, laced with a subtle yearning.
Selina’s frown deepened at his excuse. “That’s not a problem. You’ll have plenty of time once the baby’s born.” Her tone was cold—steady as ice. “Until then, stop coming to me unexpectedly.”
“I don’t want to wait.” His gaze hardened, then softened again. “You’re carrying my child, Selina. Don’t shut me out. I’m not asking for intimacy… please.”
But for Zane, it wasn’t just about bonding with his unborn child. It was about finding a way back into her life.
