Harper stood by the window, watching her sister smile, feeling a profound weight lift off her shoulders. Her debts were gone, her sister was healthy, and her life had completely transformed.
Behind her, strong arms wrapped around her waist, and a familiar chin rested gently on her shoulder. Dominic pressed a soft kiss to her neck, his hand resting protectively over her noticeably rounded belly—she was now five months pregnant, glowing and radiant.

“Because of you,” Harper turned in his embrace, wrapping her arms around his neck. “You saved us, Dominic.”
“No, tesoro,” he corrected softly, looking down at her with absolute adoration. “You saved me. You brought light into a dark house, and you gave me a real family.”
