Delia Kincaid had escaped a childhood of poverty and the stigma of being the daughter of a murderer. She had gone to college, but hadn't decided what she wanted to do with her life, so she had secured a good job as a lead sales associate in the men's wear section of one of Scottsdale's finest department stores, Peters and Son. Then Ivan Peters entered her department and her life would never be the same.Β
Ivan Peters was orphaned at the age of eighteen. The car accident that killed his parents and younger sister left him unable to father children. He inherited his family's billion-dollar real estate and retail empire and was doing nicely for himself. He lived on a thousand-acre ranch outside of Scottsdale. When his grandparents came to spend the winter in sunny Arizona, he took them shopping in his department store. The salesgirl first caught his eye and then his heart.Β
When his private secretary was killed in a car accident, he hired Delia to come live on his ranch in a guest cottage and work for him. Their relationship quickly blossomed to the point where Ivan was considering proposing to her. But when Delia told him she was pregnant, he was devastated. Even though she swore that he was the only man she had in her life, he knew that he couldn't possibly father a child. So he did the only thing he could do: he sent her away on an extended business trip.Β
Will Ivan discover the truth about Delia's pregnancy? Will he discover the truth about himself? Will an unborn baby bring them back together again? Journey with Ivan and Delia as they work through this crisis and learn that time truly can heal.
