Ethios Aniel "Ethan" Del Russo had it all: wealth, charm, and the freedom to live recklessly. As the spoiled heir to a powerful Filipino-Italian family, commitment wasn't part of his vocabulary. Then he met Reagina Anais at a college frat party-a fiery, sharp-tongued woman who slapped him over a misunderstanding before disappearing after one unforgettable night.
Five years later, Ethan's carefully controlled life shatters when he finds Reagina again, working as a stripper in an exclusive club. He knows he should stay away, but she's all he can think about. Beneath her defiant smile lies a secret she's desperate to keep-a child Ethan never knew existed.
