When Gemma envisioned the perfect man, he wasn’t seven years old…

Haunted by empty, mercenary relationships and nonexistent family ties, Gemma’s nearly lost faith in finding a man who views her as more than a pretty possession.

James has his own past of betrayal and manipulation, and he guards his heart–and his seven-year-old son–from the people who seek to trade on his family’s name.

It’s James’s son Nathan who facilitates an introduction to the beautiful woman he's seen around town, and when he finds himself in a pinch, Gemma steps in to lend a hand. Watching his son fall in love with the warm, vivacious woman threatens the walls he's put up and, with tenderness and care, Gemma unwittingly chips away at them.

Gemma’s past is dark, capable of shattering the fragile bond they’ve formed, and some of her ghosts are still very much alive.

In the struggle to overcome their demons, James’s trust is betrayed when Gemma puts herself in harm’s way for his sake, and he’s furious to learn of her dangerous sacrifice. What if he can’t get past her ugliest secret?
