About the book
When Seth Keegan returned home to New Zealand after years in prison, he fully expected his mother's scorn and the neighbors' glares. That much, he supposed, he'd earned. But he was shocked to find the woman he'd once loved living high in his family house, her young daughter mysteriously the heir to the Keegan fortune.... With an angry, bitter Seth adamantly denying paternity of her child, Ghislaine Pargiter knew he would make her life miserable until he shook her secret out of her. Not once in eight long years had she uttered a single lie, but she wasn't willing to destroy the man she still loved with the truth....
