To their astonishment, the cuts healed before their eyes. Their minds raced. "Beside me, the only person I know who has that ability is." "No! She can't be that loud, short-tempered woman!" "No! He can't be that silent, obnoxious man!" "Did I marry my secret partner in crime?" They both shuddered at the thought.

Five years ago, everything shattered. An accident. A baby. A goodbye with no turning back. She vanished from the world she once knew, pregnant and alone. No degree. No future. Just her, a secondhand car, and a daughter who calls her “mama” between cheap takeout meals and midnight Didi runs. By day, she's invisible. By night, she drives circles around a city that’s too big for broken dreams. She’s used to passengers coming and going, until he gets in her car. The man she once loved. The father of her child. But she doesn’t recognize him. And he? He never forgot her. That man is Kellan Elliott, young CEO of the elite Elliott Group. Cold, untouchable, and far too late. When fate throws Rachel and Kellan back into the same orbit, things don’t explode. They simmer. Kellan doesn’t know the truth. Rachel doesn’t want his pity. And caught in the middle is a little girl who keeps calling the stranger in the suit “Daddy.” But uncovering the truth could break all of them apart... or finally bring them the family they never got to be. This is a secret baby story. One person. One city. One car. One beloved. I’ve driven every road in this city. Will you ever find your way back to me?
