After a devastating accident claims the lives of her sister and brother-in-law, Trinity "Trinny" Banton suddenly finds herself raising their infant daughter alone. Between managing a vast estate, protecting her new family from those who want a piece of her inheritance, and learning to be a mother overnight, romance is the last thing on her mind.
Renowned artist Audon Hathaway has built a life around his work, his family, and the freedom to live on his own terms. Wealth and success have only made him wary of women interested in his fortune instead of the man behind the paintbrush. Then one unforgettable evening introduces him to the beautiful, fiercely independent woman who refuses to let anyone rescue her.
The attraction between them is undeniable.
As outside threats close in and old wounds refuse to stay buried, Audon and Trinny discover that sometimes the greatest masterpiece isn't painted on canvas...
...it's the family you never expected to find.
Love may arrive when they least expect it—but holding onto it will take all the courage they have.
