But with each act of kindness Alasdair shows her, every moving interaction between him and his children, and the simmering way he looks at her, not to mention the toe-curling kisses, she comes to see the gentle, brokenhearted man behind the hardened exterior, and she does the one thing she swore shed never do: falls in love. When the time comes for Alasdair to make the ultimate sacrifice for her, for love, will he prove hes really the man of her dreams or just a fantasy that is too good to be true?
