Nick: His to Claim (The O’Malleys #3)

Once she opens the door, there’s no turning back.

Maggie O’Malley Cassidy has a system. Three kids fed, bills close enough to paid, and one secret buried so deep she almost forgot it was there. Almost. Nicholas Kord isn’t supposed to be back.

He’s supposed to be a name she doesn’t say out loud, a chapter with the pages stuck together. He came home for a wedding.

What he found instead was a fifteen-year-old boy standing right there in the hallway in a baseball jersey. The math isn’t hard. The fallout is enormous.

The anger comes first. Then something harder to name. Nick knows how the two of them actually ended—knows his own hands were in it. That doesn’t make her lie easier to swallow.

It just means he can’t walk away clean So he doesn’t walk away.

He shows up. For Jason, for the chaos of her life, for her—the way he always did, before everything went sideways. The dormant passion between him and Maggie reignites with ferocity.

She shields herself. He persists. She resists. He intensifies. Amidst the turmoil and desire, they are confronted with a question they’re unprepared to answer:

Can they rewrite their story—or will fear and pride dictate their destiny once more? Some opportunities only knock once.
