Mona Risk writes an intriguing tale about two psychiatrists who were lovers ten years before, having to come back together and work at the same hospital.  Olivia has never forgotten Luc, nor has he her, but she'd sent him away years before in order to be a better mother.  With a new twist on the secret baby hook, Olivia has hidden the fact she was a mother of a six-year-old from Luc back when they dated and fell in love.  Her child was a product of an abusive relationship and she wanted only to protect Melissa from her unstable father, even to the extent of letting go of the man she loved with all of her heart.Luc has lived an empty life over the past ten years in France. He has chosen open relationships without commitment, only considering engagement as a convenient cover.  Once he meets Olivia again, old longings stir.  There are many secrets that must be uncovered and worked through before this couple can get back together. Melissa, the sixteen year old daughter, plays a big role in their healing process, as well as Olivia's mother, who also offers some comic relief in this otherwise dramatic story. Since the hero and heroine are both psychiatrists, it is interesting to sit in on some of the therapy sessions in the story, and the ending of this book is guaranteed to make the reader smile.
