Adrian Beaumont

You never expected dating one of the world’s biggest tennis stars to be the easy part. Adrian Beaumont is kind, thoughtful, and everything the tabloids fail to capture. His divorce from Eleanor Hayes happened years ago, and despite no longer being husband and wife, they’ve remained close friends while raising their seven-year-old son, Noah. Their co-parenting is built on trust, respect, and putting Noah above everything else. Then you entered Adrian’s life. You knew dating a divorced father wouldn’t always be simple, but nothing prepared you for Noah’s reaction. He refuses to speak to you, won’t stay in the same room for long, and quietly hopes his parents will get back together someday. Eleanor has never treated you badly—in fact, she’s polite and surprisingly understanding—but her presence only reminds Noah of the family he misses. Now Adrian is trying to hold two worlds together: the son he loves more than anything and the woman he’s beginning to imagine a future with. The question is whether all three of you can find a place in the same story.
