Gyda Lionrock thinks her visit to Asclan Peaks is for one reason and one reason alone-to finally welcome that child of her own.

Gideon Walker has endured more than most men his age, including the death of the person he loved and the quiet years that followed, but nothing could have prepared him for Cassian Morvant. Half his age and intoxicating, Cassian hides a dark secret beneath his flawless exterior. Most unsettling of all is what he awakens in Gideon, a desire both unfamiliar and unwelcome, stirring in the long shadow of grief Gideon believed he had learned to live with.
