The city stunned her, and she loved everything she saw. But in her unusual tendency of getting lost, she found herself unable to find her hotel.

From their first meeting, there was a spark between them.Although Adira was accustomed to the role of the mousy wallflower, when Favian asked her out to dinner she gave into impulse and said yes. Over dinner his voice and the sexy things he said to her in Spanish made her breathless and led to a night of passion that left her reeling. The morning after was filled with regrets after lies were whispered in her ear, and she fled not only his home but the trip she had so carefully saved for.Her one night of bliss led to another consequence: Adira was pregnant and had resigned herself to raising the baby alone.

A happily ever after might be hard to find especially when roadblocks were to be found with every step they took. Adira began to wonder if trying to make it work with the man she loved was worth it or should she just take her child and travel back across the pond with a broken heart?
