In Book I, Steele’s life takes an unexpected turn when he devises a risky plan to seduce his brother’s wife, Cierra, convinced that their child is his own flesh and blood.
However, the truth proves to be a harsh awakening for Steele. Cierra’s mother, Ada, delivers a devastating blow, revealing that the child is not his. Gripped by denial, Steele reluctantly confronts the undeniable evidence of a paternity test that shatters his world. Stranded in a desolate state of isolation and rejection, fate intervenes as Steele stumbles upon the woman of his dreams, a woman known only by her first name.
But there’s a catch. The mysterious woman, with her walls firmly in place, informs Steele that she never wishes to see him again. Determined to find her, win her back and unlock the key to his wounded heart, Steele seeks assistance from his younger sister, Isabella, a skilled and well-connected matchmaker. Entrusting Isabella with his quest, Steele embarks on a journey to find the elusive woman who holds the answers to his deepest desires.
Will Isabella’s matchmaking prowess be enough to reunite Steele with his soulmate, or will fate have a different course in mind? Discover the intricate web of love, secrets, and second chances in this tantalizing tale. When the past collides with the present, and hearts are laid bare, will Steele find redemption and the love he so desperately craves? Prepare to be captivated by the twists and turns of Steele’s tumultuous journey as he searches for the woman destined to mend his shattered soul.

Excerpt
“Someone has to hear my wrath! Your brother Steele refused to come by and visit me and when I told him I would visit him, he swore he had a prior engagement. We both know that’s a lie!”
“Dad, Steele’s a grown man, he doesn’t need you scolding him all the time. Besides it’s time this family stopped punishing Steele. He feels bad enough his younger brother got the woman he loved.”
“The woman he loved, my foot. I am the one at fault for that disaster,” Colbert declared. “He was dating Kyla Deschamps back then. I should have left them alone and when I insisted, he’d take Cierra out to make Ryker jealous. I didn’t expect him to get feelings for Cierra. If it wasn’t for me Steele would be marrying Kyla.”
“Dad! What’s got into you?” Isabella asked.
