Secrets. How easily they can weave their way through a life. How tightly they’re woven through mine...
Maggie Mahoney locked her heart away years ago after a painful relationship ended. For more than two decades, she focused on working her way up to the position of Director of Nursing at an Oklahoma City hospital while singlehandedly raising her son, Eliot, who is now twenty-one and soon to enter medical school. But Maggie’s vision of Eliot’s future and her own quickly changes when she discovers that his ex-girlfriend, Liza, is one of her patients in the hospital’s maternity ward.
Although Liza insists that Eliot not be told about the child she plans to place for adoption, Maggie feels he deserves to know about his son, even if betraying Liza’s right to confidentiality could cost Maggie her job and risk a lawsuit. She never imagines that Eliot will want to raise the baby himself, bringing her own past back to haunt her and unearthing a secret she’s kept from him since birth – one that could alter Eliot’s drastic decision to throw his life off course.
Now Maggie has consequences to face…and a decision to make. Will she lose everything she's worked so hard to achieve? And will telling her son the truth stop him from following suit...or put her at risk of losing him too?
Bestselling author Jennifer Archer's What I Never Expected is a poignant story of love, loyalty, and letting go that you won't want to miss!
