After being abandoned while pregnant by the father of her child, Amelia spends years rebuilding her life. Everything changes when a mysterious man moves into the cottage next door. Adrian claims to be a writer looking for peace and quiet. In reality, he's a prince hiding from an arranged marriage and the suffocating expectations of royal life. As Adrian grows closer to Amelia and her daughter, feelings neither of them expected begin to grow. But when Damian returns demanding a place in his child's life and the royal family discovers Adrian's location, Amelia becomes trapped between a dangerous past and a future she never imagined. While Damian offers wealth, security, biological fatherhood and a "proper family", Adrian offers respect, genuine love, total acceptance of Lily, and of course, a future as his equal. Amelia's struggles are numerous; can she trust another man? Does Lily deserve to know her father? Can a prince really choose her over a kingdom? But even Amelia isn’t ready for the secrets that lie ahead of her.
