She lied, now he will take the one thing she loves the most.

When it's reinforced from a young age that you're unlovable, it becomes second nature to put walls around that fragile organ they call a heart. That is until a woman I can't forget shatters my world and I get a glimpse of everything I've ever wanted—a son I didn't know about, and the chance of finally having the family I've never had. I know Norrie lied but now I have them back I'll do whatever it takes to keep them. Even if that means blackmailing her into a marriage with a man she doesn't love so she can keep her son.

I've lost more than I can ever count, but fate gave me the greatest gift when she sent Harrison Brooks into my life. I had one week of heaven and then he was gone, but he left me with a son I adore. I wanted to tell him, but before I got the chance, life took an unexpected turn and now he knows the truth, he hates me. Can I convince the man I love he can trust me with his heart or will the secrets I'm still keeping damn me and once again leave me alone in this world?
