Loved this. This is a second-chance, secret baby romance novella between omega Oliver Stone and alpha Philip Miller. The two were determined to get married once upon a time, and then Philip’s shitbag father manipulated them apart and Oliver had to leave town. Six years later, he’s back to try to build a new life for himself and his young son. He doesn’t expect to be let back into Philip’s life, and Philip certainly doesn’t expect anything that happens, but time and misunderstanding still hasn’t managed to dull the feelings they have for each other, so it isn’t long before they’re together again in every way that matters. This was a sweet story with little angst between the main couple. I really appreciated that the misunderstanding was sorted out quickly and painlessly, and that the focus then became about the two men rebuilding their relationship and Philip getting to know the son he never knew he had. And then near the end it starts turning a bit towards the suspenseful side when Philip’s father Ian Miller, who also happens to be the town mayor, starts causing some shit (on that note, I really hope that school secretary ended up getting fired, because what the fuck) and some old secrets about his misdeeds start coming to light. This was all very sweet and I liked Oliver and Philip coming back together and creating a new family for their son (and only because the reason they ended up separated in the first place wasn’t because of any maliciousness on either of their parts), and how naturally it all happened. Their son Christopher was adorable and his interactions with Philip were absolutely heartwarming. There were a few errors in the writing, but that didn’t detract at all from my enjoyment of the story. I’m excited to see what the rest of the series will bring.
