Secret Triplets, Second Chances by Layla Valentine

One night, one mistake… and three little secrets.
Now the hockey star is back in town, and he’ll soon meet the triplets he never knew existed…

Jake:
Five years ago, I thought chasing a hockey dream was the hardest choice I’d ever make.
Turns out, the real heartbreak was what I left behind.
Coming home to Wildfern Ridge, I never imagined Lara would be hiding something this big…
Three smart, spirited kids who call her “Mom.”
Kids who look a whole lot like me.
Aster, Chrys, and Daffy don’t even know me,
But every laugh, every sticky hand in mine, makes me want to be the dad they deserve.
Now I just have to convince Lara to let me back into their lives…
…and maybe, into her heart.

Lara:
For five years, I’ve built a life for my triplets, one bedtime story and juice box at a time.
I never expected Jake to walk back into it,
The boy who broke my heart, now a man who makes my children’s eyes light up.
He’s steady where I stumble, strong where I falter,
…and it scares me how easily I could fall for him again.
But trusting Jake means risking everything:
The family I’ve fought to protect,
And the pieces of my heart I can’t afford to lose a second time.
