Trista Nash loved Roman Aylesgarth from the time she was a little girl. He loved her, too, and promised to make her his bride. But his family's demands forced him to marry an heiress. Heartbroken and humiliated, Trista ran away, determined to make a new life for herself and her unborn child

Seven years later, Trista finds the most unlikely thing has happened—she is an heiress herself. She and her son now live in Hyde Park among the most elite social circles. It is only a matter of time before she and Roman cross paths. She tries to avoid him, hoping he will abandon his relentless pursuit of her, but Roman will not lose the love of his life again. Her desire for him is strong, but her fear is stronger. How will he react when he learns that he has a son? He never stopped loving her, he claims, but could she trust this man not to break her heart again?
