Valerie Watson sold nine months of her life for one hundred million dollars-and lost everything.
Forced by her cruel stepmother to carry a stranger's child, Valerie was stripped of her innocence, abandoned by the man she loved, and cast out of the only home she ever knew. The baby she carried was taken from her arms the moment she gave birth. As if that wasn't enough, her scheming stepsister stole what little remained of her shattered life-including her boyfriend.
Broken and betrayed, Valerie disappeared.
Six years later, she resurfaces in Northridge, no longer the helpless girl she once was, but a woman determined to survive. Her new job? A nanny at the lavish residence of billionaire CEO Davison.
Her task is simple-care for his bold, sharp-tongued little daughter.
Yet from the very first day, something feels dangerously familiar.
Why does the child cling to her so fiercely?
Why does her heart ache every time the little girl smiles?
And why does the cold, untouchable CEO watch her like she's a secret he's forgotten... but his soul remembers?
What happens when the past comes knocking-
and the child she once carried is no longer just a memory?
Some contracts end after nine months.
Others rewrite your entire destiny.
