Why had Molly Fitzwilliam Dunlap ever agreed to act as surrogate mother for Raoul de Montfort's heir? She'd loved the handsome, honorable Parisian all her life, and she knew giving up their child would break her heart. Still, Molly couldn't refuse the mesmerizing man anything ... especially not a son. Yet Raoul and their baby would never be hers.

Even though all they would do together was raise their child, Molly had the chance to show Raoul that she wanted to share much more than just his name... .
