SHANE WALKER DIDN'T WANT CHILDREN... And Hope Franklin loved him too much to tie him down to a family. So she broke their engagement and left town, taking a secret with her. Four years later, Hope returned to ask Shane just one question...was he ready to be a father?

UNTIL HE SAW HIS SON Shane hadn't forgiven Hope for walking out on him. Now she was back, more beautiful than ever, and claiming she'd left because she'd loved him. Shane wasn't sure what Hope really wanted, but he'd do anything to protect his son...even marry a woman he could never trust again
