About the book
One night... Everyone's talking about Zoe Balfour -- the illegitimate heiress! She flies to New York to discover more about her biological family and goes a little wild, shocking even herself by spending one night with a gorgeous stranger....
One baby! The gradual loss of his sight has caused Manhattan mogul Max Monroe to close himself off from the world -- a wife and child are most certainly not on his agenda! How will Zoe, once just a spoiled socialite and now unexpectedly pregnant, unlock the dark heart of a man who may never see his own child?
