A disturbing proposal. Since her sister's death, gentle and shy Julianne has been looking after her niece Pippa, an adorable baby girl a few months old, whom she considers her own daughter. So she is particularly upset when Kevin Vaccaro, the child's father, comes to her and announces his intention to take the little girl with him. Ready to do anything to keep Pippa with her, she suggests that Kevin move in with her for a while. Even though she is far from appreciating this Don Juan with a dubious reputation. The time of secrets. Ambitious and independent, Paige lives only for her work, sometimes neglecting her private life. Yet, when she meets Alex Noble, one of her new employees, she is immediately captivated by his deep brown eyes. A feeling of unease, however, quickly gives way to suspicion. For why would such a distinguished, competent, and self-assured man be content with a subordinate position? No doubt he has some terrible secret to hide...
