Harper Poole has an MBA from Harvard and is a high-powered assistant who runs the day to day operations for Jason Campbell's multi-billion dollar software company. She has everything she wants except for the love of a good man. But, Harper has more than one secret she is keeping and it could blow her life and career out of the water.Kevin Rossi is a superstar major league catcher who had a brief affair with the beautiful and sexy Harper. Kevin feels Harper is the one for him but he selfishly places his career first and accepts a baseball contract that takes him from New York to California...and away from Harper.When their secret affair results in a pregnancy, Harper decides to keep this information from Kevin. She understands him well enough to know he would feel trapped and that is not her intention. The high-powered, emotionless Harper has fallen deeply in love with her baby girl. A year after the affair Harper runs into Kevin at a business event and is taken aback by the very sight of him. Her heart slams into her chest and words escape her. When she finds out he is back to stay she must make a decision about her daughter's involvement with her father. Although she feels terrible for keeping the baby a secret from Kevin she also remembers how he continually stressed that he did not want to be tied down in a relationship or to have a family while he was still playing ball and he most definitely made Harper very aware of how he felt. What was a woman to do after the man she cares so deeply for tells her this and moves across the country?I really enjoyed this story and it was wonderful to see Harper in this light. I knew there was more to her than what I saw in 'The Temporary Wife: A Forever Love Story' and 'Unexpectedly Yours: A Forever Love Story.' It was heartwarming to view the deep devoted love she had for her daughter and the vulnerability that appeared whenever she thought of or was around Kevin.Kevin's character troubled and disappointed me with his actions and reactions towards Harper. When she needed him the most...he went AWOL...twice. I had high hopes he would be more sensitive, understanding and supporting, showing a maturity that unfortunately he had not obtained. He was mostly a jerk who hurt Harper deeply and made an ass of himself several times. I found it unacceptable when all of the sudden he forgets about the poor choices he has made in his own life and his years of man-whoring around. That made me very sad for Harper and Anna. For these reasons I could not give the book a 5-star rating. In the end he is once again likeable but I wish it had happened sooner.We also got to catch up with Jason, Meg, Josh, Caroline and Mrs. Rossi.I received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review. All in all I enjoyed this book very much as well as the series and I highly recommend it.
