Laura was married to Andy, a very wealthy man. She took Gabriel her five year old son and left. Her heart couldn't take being in love with Andy, and having Andy treat her like she was nothing. The day she left, she found out she was pregnant. Once she was gone, Andy looked back, and realized he had made mistakes. He wanted to see his wife, he wanted to talk to her, and wanted another chance. For months no one would tell him where she was.When he finally found Laura he was shocked to find out she was pregnant. Laura had complications with the pregnancy, and was put on bed rest. Andy treated Laura like she was a piece of porcelain. Sometimes actions speaks louder than words. Laura was still weary, not knowing what to believe, but wanting to give Andy another chance. Andy moved Laura, and Gabriel into his mansion that he shared with his mother, and some staff.I know I've heard some pretty bad tales of mother in laws, but I have to say this is the worst one I've ever come across. Caroline can't stand Laura, and makes sure Laura knows it. I don't want to spoil the book, so you will just have to read to see just how bad Caroline is. After Laura over heard some conversations, she took her son, and left in the middle of night. Andy was worried sick when he couldn't find his wife. When he found her again, he promised Laura that he would protect her. This really was a sweet romance. The two had problems, and they worked through them. They had to learn to trust each other once again. I could feel the love burning between Andy, and Laura. The couple felt like real people, but I hope no one in real life has had to deal with a mother in law as bad as Caroline.Sample from chapter 7Just watching the scene had something disturbing squeezing deep inside her. It wasn't sudden; it had crept up throughout the day and through each second Andy had spent with Gabriel tonight. He could be the perfect father, the perfect man and role model for her son. She cleared her throat but nearly choked when she whispered, "goodnight, Gabriel. Have a good sleep." This was all so confusing. What did Andy want? Why hadn't he left, and why was he taking such an interest in Gabriel? Her throat felt all scratchy and tight, but that was only because she wanted to tuck her face in the pillow and cry those thousand tears she'd cried almost every night for Andy. All she'd ever wanted was to be loved. What he'd done today was horrible, cruel, and she wanted to scream and yell "Why?" He had stayed, caring for her tonight and today at the hospital in a way that made her feel important, special, but she also knew she wasn't any of that to him, not in the way she wanted to be. It was the babies. She was just the vessel, a warm cocoon for a rich man's babies, and that was something she could not allow herself to forget. He was powerful, he was rich, and his family was dangerous. "Are you all right?" He brushed his fingers across her brow. "Yeah, fine," she blurted as she pulled back, her skin burning from the spark of his touch. "You look worried about something, upset." He was watching her, studying her as if he knew what she was thinking, and she couldn't have that. "No, I'm just...She couldn't think of what to say when her brain suddenly blanked out. That always happened when Andy stood so close to her and watched her with compelling blue eyes that could set her soul on fire, so she shut her mouth, and shook her head.
