Editor's Note:
Years ago, an adolescent crush and an unplanned pregnancy sent Carlie straight into the arms of Derek Pearson, the steady schoolmate who'd always loved her. Forgiving, dependable, it was Derek who picked up the pieces of her broken dreams--marrying her and accepting responsibility for both Carlie and her unborn child.Now, with her loving husband and five rambunctious children, Carlie had all she'd ever wanted. Her life was secure--until a class reunion brought back the father of her firstborn child, a stranger whose very presence threatened to tear down her carefully constructed wall of silence. If he should discover the truth, she might lose not only her daughter, but the love of the husband she had come to depend on--to love--more than life itself.
