A single night. A life-changing lie. A novel that reveals everything. To save his mother, Cha Min-hyun agreed to one night with a stranger. He never truly saw her face, but he never forgot her touch. To reclaim her life, Lee Ye-jin paid for one night of tenderness. She never meant to keep his child a secret—or to write a novel so true that it could only be read as fiction. For two years, Min-hyun never stopped searching. When a hauntingly familiar book crosses his desk—a story only two people could have lived—he uncovers the pen name of the woman who vanished and the daughter she hid from the world. But Ye-jin isn’t just hiding from him. She’s hiding from a past that could destroy them all. As Min-hyun closes in, she must decide: protect the safe, silent life she built, or risk everything for the love she thought she’d only ever written about.
