Everything We Never Knew

Aislinn has spent most of her life invisible.Abandoned as a child and forced to survive in the trees of Liberty Park, she expects nothing from the world except cold nights, stolen food, and the ache of being overlooked. Then Toivo Austin sees her—really sees her—and in one impossible moment, her life begins to change.Toivo is a doctor with a rigid routine, a generous heart, and no shortage of people who need him. But Aislinn is different. She is brave in ways he doesn't yet understand, wounded in ways he can't ignore, and impossible not to love. As their fragile trust deepens into something fiercer, the lies that tore them apart start to unravel. Families, old resentments, and the ghosts of abandonment all rise to the surface. And when the truth finally comes out, Aislinn and Toivo will have to answer the question that has haunted her life: can someone who was never chosen learn how to stay?
