Prologue

Some secrets can't stay hidden-especially when the heart is involved.

Harry Styles walked away from One Direction with a broken heart-and a secret that changed his life forever. For five years, he's built a quiet world in Holmes Chapel, raising his daughter far from the spotlight. No band. No headlines. No betrayals.
But when a reunion is announced without his consent, Harry is dragged back into the glare of the stage lights. Old wounds resurface, and the walls around his hidden life begin to crack.
As past and present collide, one truth threatens to unravel everything: love doesn't stay buried, and family doesn't stay hidden forever.
