Blaire Atwood has it all. A promising career as a doctor. A boyfriend named Axel who has just been drafted into the NFL. And… a little surprise that would be arriving in a few months. Now all she has to do is tell Axel. She’s sure he’ll be nervous, but he’ll be excited, too. Won’t he? Five years later: Axel Broxton is at the top of his career, and women fall into his bed with a mere crook of his finger. What more could he want? Besides… her. The woman he’d let slip away. Even five years later, he cringed at the way he’d treated her that night. When he’d gone back to apologize the next day, she was gone. Vanished without a trace. His heart never fully recovered, and regret ate at him every single day at the thought of what might have been. Until one night, he meets one of the new team doctors… a brilliant surgical resident who he knows all too well. The woman he’s never gotten over. Then he meets her daughter, Carrie. Dark, curly hair. Adorable dimples. Sapphire-blue eyes. His eyes. His daughter.
