Evelyn Blake has spent two years loving Adrian Cross, a powerful CEO who gives her everything except a promise. Then a routine medical exam reveals she is six weeks pregnant—and Adrian has always sworn he never wants children. When the truth comes out, he gives her a brutal choice: end the pregnancy or end their relationship. Evelyn chooses her baby, disappears to a quiet town, and begins rebuilding her life as a single mother. But Adrian finds her. Haunted by his own childhood and desperate to win her back, he claims he can change. Gifts, therapy, volunteering, even a ring follow—but Evelyn refuses to become the consolation prize in his battle with fatherhood. Can a man who once rejected their child prove he is ready to love them both, or has his second chance come too late?
