Bellamy Nash was born and raised by her father in the ever- ourishing city of North Brooke Port. For Bellamy, growing up without a mother to teach her how to be a woman causes her to fall for anything. After obtaining her master's degree, Bellamy thinks her life is complete, since she agrees to marry her college sweetheart. After months of planning and thousands of dollars spent, the perfect life Bellamy envisions for herself comes to a screeching halt when she is abandoned at the altar by her "soul‐ mate". On a whim, Bellamy runs as far away from NBP as she can, and the love she swears she doesn't want anymore is all that she sees the moment she crosses paths with Ezekiel Carr.

That very conver‐ sation is the last time he ever hears his mother's voice again.

Years later, Ezekiel is educated and well established in his career, and although he made that promise to his mother some years back, Ezekiel has a heart as cold as ice. A no-nonsense busi‐ nessman who plays the game better than anybody alive, Ezekiel has sworn o love. The only woman that he's ever uttered those words to left him after she slipped out of his bedroom on his tenth birthday.

Bellamy and Ezekiel met by chance, but fate brings them back into each other's lives when his new business venture lands him in the heart of North Brooke Port. The moment that Bellamy decides to let her guard down, she learns things about Ezekiel that has her running for the hills. Will Ezekiel risk the chance of letting her get away, or will he step up and be the man his mother made him promise to be?
