Jewel Henley walks into her first day at a new job and freezes. Her boss is Piers Anetakis, the man she spent a passionate week with during her vacation five months ago. What was supposed to stay as a brief romance has followed her home. Piers has one iron rule: no workplace relationships. He fires Jewel on the spot. Broke and jobless, Jewel thinks her situation cannot get worse. Then she learns she is pregnant. She must face Piers again and tell him about the baby. Piers charges back into her life with the same intensity that captivated her months before. He shows her tenderness and desire, but Jewel sees the doubt in his eyes. He wants her but refuses to trust her completely. Without trust, they remain trapped in something that feels like love but cannot become more than a temporary arrangement.
