Val Timmons lost one knight in shining
armor and thought she’d found another.
But after she married Kurt, she found that
she’d landed a rusty tin man instead.
She’d given up all hopes of ever finding
happily ever after, especially when he
kept postponing her dream of having a
child. When his pregnant mistress showed
up at the door, Val soon learned that
Kurt was set to have the family she’d
always wanted—just not with her.
Making things more complicated, Val
found a way—without her husband’s
cooperation—to conceive the baby she
felt she deserved. All that took place
while Kurt was buying himself time to
right some wrongs before they came
to light and caused him to lose his wife
altogether. Pointing the finger at his
mistakes is not a luxury Val can afford.
She also has something to hide, and
they will both learn one valuable lesson:
there’s no right way to do a wrong thing.
