Niomi Dave fell in love with a man she wasn't supposed to fall for, Aruk McShel. They had both only agreed on being bed partners with her holding the tittle of ' the other woman' for Aruk was deep in love with another and she had accepted. But choices had consequences.

She was born spoiled, sheltered, and taught to look down on everyone who didn't fit her family's narrow idea of "acceptable." So when a drunken mistake left her carrying the child of a man she scorned, she did what she thought was best-she gave the baby away. Months later, curiosity dragged her back. From the shadows, she watched the man she once insulted cradle their son with a tenderness that unsettled her. She told herself she despised him, that he was beneath her. Yet still she kept watching... until he caught her.
