Framed. Blacklisted. Penniless. When billionaire Dominic Steele accused Aria Hayes of stealing from his company, he didn't just ruin her career; he destroyed her entire life. He stripped her of her dignity, cut off her income, and threw her to the wolves, leaving her to survive off minimum wage diner tips in a forgotten backwater town. He thought she was a cold, calculating opportunist who got away with fifty thousand dollars. He didn't know she was working double shifts to keep her sick mother off the streets. He didn't know she was innocent. And he definitely didn't know she was carrying his baby. Now, as a web of corporate betrayal unravels in New York, Dominic realizes he destroyed the only woman who was ever real with him. But when he finally tracks her down in the freezing rain, Aria isn't the quiet assistant he left behind. She is a mother ready to fight to the death to keep her child out of his icy grip.
