Often, the hero realizes the importance of the mother and the baby in his life. He overcomes any obstacles, like family disapproval or his own pride. For example, in many stories, he might have initially been afraid of commitment, but by the end, he fully embraces his role as a father and partner. So, in general, it's a positive and heartwarming ending for the characters.
Some end with a more bittersweet note. Maybe the billionaire and the mother decide that they can't be together for various reasons, but they co - parent the child amicably. This shows a more mature and complex view of relationships, where love doesn't always mean being a couple.
Often, they end with the relationship either being fully realized and the couple getting together, like in 'The Fault in Our Stars' where the two main characters have a deep connection despite their circumstances. Another common ending is that the characters learn and grow from the relationship even if it doesn't end in a traditional 'happily ever after'.
Most 'Secret Son' romance novels end happily. The family is usually reunited, and the romantic relationships are resolved. For example, the couple gets married or commits to a long - term relationship, and the secret son has a stable family environment.
Often they end happily. The lovers overcome the obstacles that made their love a secret in the first place. For example, in 'Pride and Prejudice', Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy get married after all misunderstandings are cleared.
Typically, they start with the revelation of the secret baby. For example, the hero or heroine might accidentally discover the existence of the child. Then, there's often a period of shock and denial. As the story progresses, the other main character is informed, which leads to a lot of drama. The relationship between the two main characters then has to be re - evaluated in light of this new information, and usually, they end up falling in love or rekindling their love while dealing with the challenges of raising the child in a historical context.
There's also 'The Rancher's Secret Son'. This Harlequin novel usually focuses on a rancher who has a son he didn't know about. The story unfolds as he gets to know his child and rekindles his relationship with the mother, set against the backdrop of rural life, with all the charm and simplicity that comes with it.
Secret mistress stories can end in different ways. Some end with the mistress realizing her mistake and walking away on her own. Others end with the man finally divorcing his wife and starting a new life with the mistress, but this is less common. Often, the secrecy and lies catch up with them, and the relationship breaks down due to lack of trust and the complex web of lies that has been spun.
Secret relationship stories often end with either a revelation or a breakdown. In the case of a revelation, if the relationship has been kept secret due to fear of judgment, once it is out in the open, there could be acceptance and a new start. However, it could also lead to a breakdown. For example, if one person in the relationship has been using the secrecy for their own advantage and the other discovers it, it can lead to a bitter end. There are also cases where the secret relationship continues indefinitely, with the characters accepting the secrecy as a part of their relationship.
Often, the truth about the secret baby is revealed. In many cases, the family accepts the baby, and there is a sense of forgiveness and new beginnings. For example, the father may finally come around and take responsibility for the child.
Often, they end in heartbreak. One or both parties realize the secrecy is causing too much pain or guilt, so they break it off.
