Victoria Sinclair commands respect as a preeminent pharmaceutical researcher, captivating colleagues with her brilliant mind and striking beauty. Men regard her as an untouchable goddess of purity, while women admire her as the perfect embodiment of talent and grace. Yet her heart belongs entirely to Julian Vaughn—a man who returns nothing but contempt. Their two-year marriage remained cold and distant, untouched by intimacy or warmth. After their separation, Victoria carries their child alone into a new life. Julian, consumed by regret, wages a desperate battle to reclaim what he abandoned, unwilling to lose either his son or the woman he now realizes he loves. Tears streaming down his face, he begs, "Victoria, I want you both—our child and you."
