When Phoenix Chamberlain’s former lover, Monica Swarovski commits suicide, he learns the truth he never knew—he has a son. Newly wed to Sierra, Phoenix has no place in his heart for his son's guardian, Sue Deveraux, the woman determined to disrupt his life. Yet Phoenix can't ignore the attraction he feels to her.
Seeing Sue Deveraux at Seaside Haven is the last thing Sierra Chamberlain expects. She is extremely beautiful and extremely conniving. The city girl's stay is only temporary, and the only way Sue can protect the child is to strike a deal with Phoenix. Will she get more than she bargains for?

Prologue
Velvety red rose petals littered the aisle that was carved out in the sand on the beach in Seaside, Florida. The make-shift aisle led to a white gazebo laced with climbing roses and red satin ribbons. Family and friends, seated on either side of the aisle, kept their stare affixed her way.
Sierra's father, Andy Dalton, clothed in a snug fitting tuxedo took her hand and helped her down the steps. "I have never seen you look more beautiful." Her father's eyes glistened as he smiled down at her. "I am so happy for you doll baby."
Emotion filling Sierra's throat, she squeezed her father's hand while her twin sister, Sienna, tried to arrange the train on her designer wedding dress.
The music intensified. Her father looped her arm through his and Sierra closed her eyes. Her father whispered near her ear, "Are you ready?"
Smiling, she opened her eyes and together they took the first measured step.
Sierra's gaze, through the fine net of her veil, tracked over to her mother, Isabel Dalton, sitting up front, her eyes glued on her daughter. Sierra’s gaze then shifted to Grayson Faulk, Phoenix’s step father, who was standing beside him as his best man. Both men looked handsome in their black tuxedos. And Phoenix’s eyes were dancing with love.
When Sierra and her father had made their way down the aisle, the music faded and she was standing before Phoenix with tears misting her eyes. He had never looked more handsome. More proud. Carefully he folded back her veil and the preacher raised his bible.
Once the vows and platinum rings were exchanged, Phoenix kissed his bride. Then he rested his forehead upon hers as he held her in his arms. "Thank you for bringing me back to life," he whispered as guests began to dance around them. "I love you.”
Sierra's chest expanded to a breadth and width she hadn't felt before. A tear escaped and rolled down her rosy cheek. She held his hands and searched his eyes. "I love that every day I discover something new and wonderful about you that only makes me love you more." Their lips brushed again and again. Afterward, she rested her cheek on his chest and contemplated their future together. Dancing with Phoenix on their wedding day, Sierra knew exactly where she was supposed to be.
With Phoenix.
At Seaside Haven.
Chapter One
Phoenix Chamberlain wandered out from the hospital room, his senses locked in a mind-numbing daze. He had received the call at nine that morning and he'd immediately jumped in his plane and had flown to Martha’s Vineyard with his heart in his throat the whole way. He and Monica Swarovski hadn't spoken in months. Now he had missed the chance to say goodbye.
Through stinging eyes he took in the busy corridor. The air smelled of antiseptic and death. A passing doctor, deep in conversation with the nurse by his side, brushed Phoenix's shoulder as he walked by.
Where was God's mercy? Monica had only been twenty five years old.
A woman in the crowded waiting room caught his eye, her ebony hair streaming over one side of a tight fitting red dress. She held a swaddled child in her arms.
Phoenix rubbed his eyes and refocused.
Beneath fluorescent lights, tears glistened on her long, dark lashes, and as she gazed back at him, Phoenix wondered if they had met before. When her mouth pressed into a smile, his gut tightened.
She must be one of Monica's friends.
