Not telling anyone I was pregnant years ago meant I started over with a huge secret. Now my son is eight and I realize hiding his birth right might have been the wrong plan. He’d have been better protected. Returning home though is causing a scandal. The daughter of the maid and the son of a trillionaire are a disaster in the making. Except he brought us home, kept us safe and put our son in the best schools. I should be grateful. I’d had no idea the years would soften his heart. And he said he missed me, every second of every day since I’d been gone. Crushing on him came back over me so fast. He’s hotter than I remember, clearly working out, a trillionaire, a doctor by choice, and still has a little of that reclusive loner attitude I’d absolutely wanted to fix in him all our childhood. Except he has no idea what I went through. I was not designed to be anything more than servant and there are rules. Even if I still ache for him. And even if he says he loves me. And no one could ever replace him for me. Rules are rules and breaking them meant I set up myself up for heartache round 2, I knew it, and happiness was never in my destiny, but you’d never have expected what happened because I absolutely hadn’t.

Victoria Pinder grew up in Irish Catholic Boston before moving to the Miami sun. She’s worked in engineering, after passing many tests proving how easy Math came to her. Then hating her life at the age of twenty four, she decided to go to law school. Four years later, after passing the bar and practicing very little, she realized that she hates the practice of law. She refused to one day turn 50 and realize she had nothing but her career and hours at a desk. After realizing she needed change, she became a high school teacher. Teaching is rewarding, but writing is a passion. During all this time, she always wrote stories to entertain herself or calm down. Her parents are practical minded people demanding a job, and Victoria spent too many years living other people’s dreams, but when she sat down to see what skill she had that matched what she enjoyed doing, writing became so obvious. The middle school year book when someone wrote in it that one day she’d be a writer made sense when she turned thirty. Besides her full time job of teaching, in 2013 and 2014, she sold on her own sold books to three different publishers. The Zoastra Affair, Chaperoning Paris, Borrowing the Doctor, and Electing Love will be published from Soul mate Publishing. Mything the Throne will be published with Double Dragon Ebooks. Favorite Coffee, Favorite Crush will be published with Jupiter Press. Now she is represented by Dawn Dowdle of Blue Ridge Literary Agency and she hopes to continue selling her novels that she writes. Moving up to the next level from hard work and determination is rewarding, and partnerships bring new opportunities. Also she’s the Vice President of Progams for the Florida Romance Writers. She’s gone to multiple conferences and intends to continue. She learns and meets so many people at conferences. Her website is here, www.victoriapinder.com, and she’ll continue to grow my web presence. She is working hard on other projects and found the time to plan her wedding this year. Before writing, her father had taken her to many star trek conventions and on her own she grew up as the only girl in the 90s at the comic book store. Science Fiction was her first love, but contemporary romance was her second. She’s sticking with contemporaries for the near future. Member of Florida Romance Writers, Contemporary Romance, Fantasy, Futuristic and Paranormal chapter of RWA, Celtic Hearts and Savvy Authors.
