  Pregnant and running scared, Grace Thomas turns to the one man she knows she

  her, but she knows he’ll never forgive her for breaking his heart and taking
  up with his former best friend. Given Brody’s own unsettled past, Grace

  father for her child. But can she dare to dream of a second chance with the
  man she’s never stopped loving?
