A Door Held Open

By Laura Carpenter

She built her life on steadiness.
On rules.
On never needing anyone to hold the door open for her.
Then a complaint lands on her desk-calculated, malicious, designed to unravel everything she's worked for.
And in the middle of the fallout, she discovers she's pregnant.
Alone.
Except she isn't.
Because the man who once knew her better than anyone-the man who should have stayed-is standing in the doorway again. And this time, he isn't asking permission. He's staying.
As careers hang in the balance and reputations are tested, they must decide what love looks like when it costs something. When trust has to be rebuilt. When strength means softness.
Set against the charged atmosphere of modern Northern Ireland, A Door Held Open is a powerful contemporary romance about resilience, second chances, and the kind of love that doesn't flinch.
For readers who love emotional depth, intelligent heroines, protective heroes, and romance with real-world weight.
