Split decisions and daring anyone to challenge the path he took made Chance Middleton a successful architect. The reason for one of his decisions made when he was just a boy was a mystery that Mahogany Jefferson could never solve. However, he had no way of knowing that his fierce determination would become a fatal flaw, turn his closely guarded secret into a breeding ground for deceit, and push Mahogany’s love for him to a breaking point.
Chance wasn’t surprised when it snapped completely or when she packed her bags. He let her go, well aware that she can be counted on for two things: doing what she thought was right and bouncing back when things went sideways. Her troubled past and heartbreaking present unbeknownst to him demanded she be tough, but a recent tragedy just may break her. Her belongings weren’t all she took with her when she left.
Thinking she was doing the right thing for everyone, now she had a secret of her own and it was always only a matter of time before things went left. That was the story of Mahogany’s life and to right things again, she had only one option: call on Chance, which required her to reveal an accident that elevated many lives to a level he never wanted to exist on. His reaction might just be incendiary, but the mystery of Chance will be unraveled at last.
No one will be exempt from heartache, heartbreak, and being let down. Love will be tested. Lines will be crossed. Lives will be endangered. Blood will be spilled. Everyone will learn what they're truly made of. Happily-ever-afters will. Be. Fought. For.

Mahogany is desperate to save the life of her baby, Majestic, who's only two and losing the fight with leukemia and a rare blood disorder. And what she must do if contact the very man who had no idea he had a hand in her existence and ask for his help. Chance is living a unsatisfactory life after Mahogany left him years ago. But he didn't know that his secrets and adamantly refusing to entertain the thought of children were what drove her away, not knowing that she was pregnant. But she had to protect her heart and her child. She had no choice but to believe how he said he would react to a possible pregnancy. Chance saves his daughter, but is there enough of a relationship between him and Mahogany to justify saving.
A good sweet and sometimes spicy read. Don't want to ruin it, but it wrapped up nicely with the HEA that all three of them deserved.
Okay the jury is still out about how I feel about this story.On the one hand it was fun to see the two main characters play off of one another and the chemistry was really good.But I wanted to see more bonding between a father and a daughter,a family trying to find there way towards each other.You call someone with news that's going to change their lives at some point I needed a moment of angst.Also where was the bonding you don't get to see that,I think too much time was spent on looking at family and friends.This was a good solid story with good dialogue but it was missing that little oomph to push it to the next level.
That's what Chance fought out the hard way. He was so mad at Mahogany for leaving him and tearing up his heart and soul that he had to rain in his anger when he found out why she left. His lack of communication with her about why he did not want any children was heartbreaking enough. It forced her to leave to protect her child. She was grateful for his responding and saving their child's life. It only took them a couple of days together to realize that they still loved each other. They just had to convince themselves to do what was best for the other.
Falon wrote a heart anguished story about a couple who had hurt each other, trying to make the best of the situation for the sake of their child and desperately trying to find their way back to each other. With Majestic, Chance realized his true dream of having a family.

My Thoughts...
This was quite a lovey story involving Mahogany. Majesty and Chance along with some other very interesting characters that will keep you turning the pages from the beginning to the end to see what was coming next. You will find a lots of hilarious moments that will have you laughing out loud. It is so interesting to see these two [Mahogany & Chance] go back and forth until finally they seem to get it. Be ready for a lots of drama, secrets and family issues that will keep coming until they get the message that they love each other no matter what all the reasons that had happened. In the end will Mahogany and Chance get their HEA? Well to see how well this author brings it all out to the reader you will have to pick up this well written story and see how well this it was delivered. I loved the ending!
The characters emotions were intense. The twist in their relationship was crazy. The steamy scenes were hot. The happily ever after ending was so sweet and heartwarming.
This was a well-written book, I liked the dialogue and banter between the characters.
Chance being a jerk to Mahogany was annoying because he caused her to leave due to him keeping secrets. He eventually realised his mistakes which was good, but he still continued to let her think he couldn’t forgive her which dragged out their reunion and was frustrating.
I liked Mahogany as a character but she was a bit too quick in forgiving Chance and his family. I wish she got to talk to them about how she felt about their previous cold treatment of her.
Majestic was a really cute kid and I also liked Tommy. The epilogue was sweet and I would’ve liked to see more of Chance and Mahogany as a couple after they reconciled.

This book was a good spin off from her the other books by this author. I was glad that it focused primarily on Chance and Mahogany. I thought that Mahogany was foolish for being cryptic with Chance regarding the pregnancy. Chance should have been more open about why he didn't want children. While I understand why Mahogany left it was wrong of her to keep Chance from knowing about his daughter until it was almost too late. Chance and Mahogany never stopped loving each other even though they both abandoned their relationship. They did get the family they didn't plan for.
Mahogany and Chance’s story was a good one and I think it was more deceitful on Chance's side. If he had just been truthful as to why he didn't want children from the beginning I don't think Mahogany would have seemed deceitful. I mean she tried to tell him...how could he not pick up on it? Anyway all worked out for them all, Majestic got better and Mahogany and Chance overcame their obstacle with one another. Can't wait to get a little more of their happily ever after in the next book. Oh and more of Uncle Tommy too.
Loved her story telling and the telling from both main characters perspectives. I like learning as I read and would have liked more information on HH blood type. I had to put my book down and go to the Internet. I liked the main characters. I truly wish I could understand people's choices to not tell their true feelings, I know it's for the book. That would be okay but people do it in their real lives. Some heartache is self inflicted in the name of self preservation.
I love a book that has great dialogue. This one had that in spades. Tommy was utterly hilarious. Chance, although rigid in his stance, found the light. Mahogany was young with practically no guidance growing up, in love with an older man. She stepped up to the plate for her beliefs. I liked that. Chance ran all in when it came down to it. This was a very good read.
I love Ms. Gold's style of writing. I love to LOL when reading a story as well as feel all the other emotions brought on by the story line. Please hurry with the next book
Wow, I felt sadden by Chance declaration about being a killer. Blood is blood but it's not defective to kill. When it comes to bloodlines, it shouldn't stop you from having children due to heredity. Poor Chance! I enjoyed Mahogany and Chance story.
True love. Chance and Mahogany definitely one of my favorite couple. Majestic was so adorable, very intelligent. Tommy was so hilarious. This truly was a great story of love. Hoping Nevaeh's story will be released soon.
Another couple gets their HEA after communication breaks down and their relationship stalls. What human failings put asunder, a greater power called 'meant to be' digs right back up.
Of the Powers and Owen stories, Chance and Mahogany's is my favorite. Enjoyed catching up with previous characters. So happy Chance released the bitterness and was open and honest with Mahogany. I truly love Majestic
Going back to reread the other 3 in this Series. Awesome book wanted to knock THIER heads together. Beautifully well written book. Can't wait for book 2
2.5 stars. The premise made me curious, but I was disappointed. I didn't really like the writing style, no flow and the pace felt too slow for me in this book and that made it somewhat boring.
Started off well but half way through became too wordy like the author had decided they’d already got back together but had to fill out the rest of the story when nothing was really going on. A nice quick read if you want something light although the topic of cancer is mentioned throughout
Fallon Gold always delivers interesting and complex books. This book is no exception. When Mahogany discovered that she was pregnant. She left Chase until she needed him to save her daughter's life. Awkward 🤣
Enjoyed reading! It was a bit wordy in some places, but it did not hurt the story! Some of the interaction with Chance's family and Mahogany was over the top crazy, but still funny! Anyway, I thought it was very good!
