A heart betrayed never forgets. And, someone must pay. Guthrie Cavanaugh has proof the child Marissa Harrington adopted nearly eight years ago is his, one he never knew existed, given away at birth for spite. And now, he wants her back by any means necessary.

He’s trying to take her daughter away, threatening to bring Marissa down to accomplish his goal, to destroy her very existence. She fights back, waging war against him, even knowing in the end, she will lose. But she refuses to give up without a fight. Then when she learns the deceit and treachery surrounding the adoption, it creates a soft spot in her heart. Too late, she realizes, the betrayal of her own heart gave her enemy the victory he sought.

He presents her with a compromise. Marry him, be a mother to both his children, or lose everything she holds dear.
