Installée à Majorque depuis quelques années, Beth Miller reprend goût au bonheur auprès de son fils J.C., âgé de cinq ans — un petit garçon enjoué, qui ressemble trait pour trait à son père, un grand chirurgien espagnol qui ignore son existence. Anéantie par leur séparation brutale six ans plus tôt, Beth n'a pas jugé bon, alors, d'informer son compagnon de sa grossesse. Depuis, elle a tiré un trait sur sa vie sentimentale et travaillé sans relâche comme mannequin pour élever son fils...

Mais ce fragile équilibre familial bascule lorsque J.C. doit être hospitalisé pour une crise d'appendicite. Car le médecin qui l'examine sous les yeux effarés de Beth n'est autre que... Jaime Caballeros, son père !

Should she tell him he was her son's father?

Six years ago, Beth Miller had been swept off her feet by the impossibly good-looking Jaime Caballeros. She'd believed Jaime felt the same, until she'd discovered he was engaged to another woman! Heartbroken, she'd had to leave him, and it was only afterward that she'd found she was pregnant with his child.

Now Beth needs Jaime's help, or rather her child does. Jaime is a renowned surgeon, and Jacey is his patient. But little does Jaime know that his tender charge is his own son....

– Bon sang, Jillian, je n’ai jamais rencontré quelqu’un d’aussi infantile, d’aussi exaspérant que vous ! Quand vous déciderez-vous à grandir ?

– Infantile, moi ? C’est plutôt vous qui avez un problème, monsieur de Sauvignet ! Vous êtes orgueilleux, arrogant… Tout pour déplaire !

Voilà qui annonce de belles disputes… Il suffit qu’ils se rencontrent pour que l’atmosphère devienne orageuse ! A qui la faute ?

He could ruin her whole career

Jillv was stunned just thinking about it. She would never have told Jean-Luc de Sauvignet about her injury if she'd known his doctorate was not in medicine.

Now she feared everything she'd worked so hard for was in jeopardy to this man. A hateful man who was always laughing at her, and would, Jilly expected, enjoy every minute of her downfall.

– Ah oui ? Très intéressant, vraiment !

Egarée, elle fit volte-face… pour recevoir en plein visage le regard gris acier de son nouveau patron .

– A votre avis, ma chère Abby, que devraient faire deux personnes qui éprouvent une très forte attirance l’une pour l’autre et qui, de surcroît, sont libres de toute attache ?

Abby baissa les yeux, incapable de supporter plus longtemps le regard ardent que Max Bradley posait sur elle. Oh, la réponse à cette question, elle ne la connaissait que trop… Depuis sa première rencontre avec Max, le célèbre dessinateur, elle avait l’impression de ne plus vivre que pour lui.
