Used book – Une promesse, Elaine Grant, Marie-Pierre Corrin

When she learns that a certain Cole has just bought the house she intended to acquire, Sarah is furious. He's beaten her to the punch! Ready to do anything to buy the house back from him, she goes to find him. But, devilishly shrewd in business, Cole only gives her one month to gather the necessary sum, and the tension rises. On the verge of exploding, Sarah suddenly notices the presence of a little boy in Cole's shadow. Shy, almost timid, the child gazes at her with wide, overly innocent eyes. Moved, embarrassed by her outburst, Sarah softens. Some time later, as she is forced to continue dealing with Cole for business, she learns that the little boy is his nephew: as his brother died in his arms, Cole promised him he would take care of the child. But he is overwhelmed, distraught, and is considering finding a foster family for the child...
