Young widow Belle McAllister knew she'd never stand a chance against her wealthy father-in-law who was determined to take custody of her five-year-old son. Desperate, she takes her child and flees, settling in a new town under an assumed name.
Casey Walker is called the best detective a man can buy, and he's been paid well and paid in advance to track down McAllister's grandchild and the woman he claims is an unfit mother. When Casey discovers that Belle is not only devoted to her child, but a beautiful, sensual woman who trusts him with her secrets and her heart, he is torn by guilt and remorse, yet he dares not reveal his mission. And even as passion rages, Casey's deception is about to explode in disaster, threatening to destroy their love, and the woman he cherishes more than life itself.
