Kingsley is torn between protecting his secret and protecting the woman who's turning his world upside down. But the closer Tessa gets to his daughter...the closer she gets to uncovering the secret he's sworn to hide. And when love collides with lies, someone's heart will have to pay the price. Behind every secrets lies a forbidden truth– and behind every man like Kingsley Voss, a woman strong enough to bring him to his knees.
