Masuk"Why were you flirting with another man?" Christian’s voice thundered through the room. "Maybe you shouldn’t have flirted with another woman," Jane shot back, her voice cold but trembling with suppressed hurt. For five long years, Jane and Christian endured a loveless marriage — one built on duty rather than affection. Everything changed when Amanda, Christian’s first love, returned to town. Her arrival coincided with Jane’s tragic miscarriage, tearing Christian between the desires of his body and the quiet pull of his heart. Now, Jane has walked away… and it’s killing him. Especially when he sees her with another man — Jared. But Jared has secrets, dark ones, and Jane is about to uncover the truth behind his intentions. Just when she thinks she’s reclaiming her life, a shocking revelation threatens to change everything: Jane is pregnant again — and the child is Christian’s. Will she keep the baby? Can she trust Jared after learning the truth? Or will she return to Christian — the man now on his knees, begging for forgiveness and a second chance? Jane must choose between the man who broke her… and the one who might do it again.

The same little nose.""She has Christian's eyes.""She has both of your eyes."I looked over at Christian, who was standing by the window. He hadn't said much since Emma was born. He just stood there watching us with this look on his face that I couldn't read."Christian, do you want to hold her?"He turned to look at me, and I could see tears in his eyes."Are you sure?""Yes.""You don't have to let me hold her.""I want you to hold her.""Really

The doctor had said stress could endanger the baby, but I couldn't bring myself to leave Italy. I was staying at a hotel in Florence, driving to Jane's villa every day to make sure she was okay.
