About the book
One night of love changed her forever. Three years ago Talia Montague's heart had been shattered: Alex had jilted her almost with a wave of his hand, unknowing and uncaring about the consequences of his actions. Slowly, painfully, Talia had rebuilt her life, had managed to make a new beginning for herself and her little son--Alex's son. Her life, her very soul, depended on one thing: Alex must never, never know that little Matty even existed. For if he found out, she knew the wealthy Alex Jordan could destroy her world once again.
