Wistful Whispers by Dani Elias

When your dark past threatens your future and the love of your life, you have to fight.

Hannah
Pregnant after a one-night stand? Definitely not part of the plan. But with Jake by my side—my best friend, my rock, the guy who’s promised to support me through all of it—I’m not worried about the village gossip. They can whisper all they like about Jake’s dark past, but I know him. I trust him completely. He’s got my back, no questions asked.
Lately, though… there’s been something different between us. When he looks at me, it’s like I’m seeing him for the first time. Or maybe it’s the hormones playing tricks on me, making me feel things I’m not sure I should. He’s been my best friend forever—nothing more, right?

Jake
Hannah means everything to me. She’s been my closest friend since I moved to Fellside, and the only one who truly accepted me—past, baggage and all. But truth is, she’s not just a friend. I’ve always felt more, even if I’ve never told her. As for the rumours flying around the village… they don’t paint the full picture. Some are right, some are wrong, but the past is behind me. My future? That’s with Hannah and the baby she’s carrying. The thought of everything catching up with me keeps me up at night, but if it comes to that—if it threatens her—I’ll fight to the end. No matter the cost.
