One.  Night.  Stand.

For Gianna Taylor that’s all it was supposed to be.  A night to be someone she’s never been, to be free from the circumstances a tragedy forced upon her.

To step out from the shadows where she hides - if only for one night.

When that night gives her a daughter, desperation forces her into a world she’s spent her entire life avoiding - and towards a man who seems dedicated to freeing her.

But people are not always as they appear.

She seeks out the man who gave her a night she’s never forgotten, to introduce him to a daughter he’s never known, but she doesn’t expect his reaction.

Or the intensity of the feelings between them.

A Dimarco man never abandons his family and never runs from his responsibilities. When Gianna explodes back into his life, the fire he felt one night burns hotter than before.  Staying away from her becomes impossible, regardless of the demons threatening to destroy his well-controlled life.

As Gianna’s past resurfaces, they’re forced to face their feelings for each other, as well as the fears that plague them, all while trying to stop the man determined to destroy her.

 With a future so unclear and a past proving inescapable, will she choose to follow her heart?

Or stay in the safety of the hauntingly familiar shadows?
