When Delanie Carlyle wakes in the hospital after
a car accident,
she discovers she cannot remember the past month of
her life…and to her
dismay, she’s newly pregnant. With no husband or
lover in her life, she
must take care of her child alone. Then an elderly
friend dies and she
must deal with the complications presented by a
large, unexpected
inheritance.
Eighteen months later, Mitchell Riese meets again
the woman who has
stolen half his inheritance. Delanie knew who
Mitchell was when she
fell into conversation with the dark, handsome
tycoon at a cocktail
party celebrating the re-opening of his
grandfather’s historic resort.
She has supervised the restoration of the massive
turn-of-the-century
hotel and, in the process, has earned the fond
affection of the
irascible, elderly Donovan Riese. Mischievously,
Delanie parries
Mitchell’s attempts to learn her name. But somewhere
between the casual
conversation and the sparkling champagne, she falls
instantaneously,
head-over in love with Donovan Riese’s sexy
grandson. After a night of
glorious passion, she wakes and slips away from his
bed, still awash in
the glow of finally having found her soul mate.
At breakfast later that morning, Delanie waits with
teasing expectancy
when Donovan introduces her to his grandson,
Mitchell. When the man she
thought was her hero viciously attacks her for
supposedly taking
advantage of his grandfather, Delanie runs away,
only to crash her car
in her distress and wake up...having forgotten with
whom she made a
baby.
