After being scarred in the explosion that killed my brother, Gabriel Winters asked for my hand in marriage to save my family from financial ruin. In his mind, it was a marriage of convenience. He never saw me as anyone but his best friend's little sister. In my mind, nothing was convenient. I'd always seen him as a man.

Gabriel is scarred, but not broken. He's strong, powerful, and kind. I want to be the one to open his heart to love again. On the night he finally summons me to his bedroom, I go ready and eager to give him my body and my soul. Instead, he hands me divorce papers.

I would do anything for this man, but I refuse to give in. If he wants me to sign, he is going to have to give into my demands first.

I want to know what it finally feels like to be touched by a man...

...And I want a baby.
