I wasn’t expecting someone like him. Those deep blue-gray eyes and gentle smile caught me off guard, threw me for a loop. He didn’t look like the kind of man who had millions of dollars to share. And yet he did, and he wanted to invest in my family’s company. I tried to keep my feelings buried, locked away like the vault that held our diamonds. I refused to be beholden to anyone, not even him. Love wasn’t part of the plan. Until he kissed me and changed everything. Work was no longer enough. I needed more. I needed him. Torn between duty and desire, my emotions battled each other, until I couldn’t take it anymore. I took a leap of faith. I followed my heart. Only to have the rug ripped out from under me. He tried to catch me, to ease my fears. But can I trust him? More importantly, can I trust myself?

Andrew Atherton. Self-absorbed. Flagrant playboy. Heir to his family's business. Demanding jerk; at least, he used to be . When I walked out 10 years ago, he was partying next to supermodels - I never looked back. I traveled the world, fighting noble causes until I landed in Botswana to create a home for orphaned kids. Not sexy, but I've made a difference. I won't lie, I totally missed his hypnotic eyes - deep kisses, and his electric touch that lit me on fire. But I'd moved on. Until Andrew literally crashed back into my life. I fought my feelings for him as long as I could, but once he touched me, I couldn't resist. He says he's changed; wants to help me, love me, never let me go. That's great...but our lives are on two different continents. More importantly, what will happen when he finds out I'm carrying his baby?

“You look beautiful tonight”, Ryan said as he drew me toward him and kissed me gently. As I kissed him back, his kiss deepened, and his entire body enveloped me, and we melded together as if we were always meant to be that way. “Oh my God,” I thought, “How did this guy walk into my life?” Both my doctor and best friend said I needed a change. Spend the summer on a Texas ranch, my friend said. “It will be good for you”, she said. I thought it was a terrible idea! Little did I know; this summer would change my life. How much would your life change if you listened to your heart?
