When Mark Reynolds first meets Emily Todd, he's smitten. So is his son Seth. But Emily's been honest about her diagnosis, and Mark can't put Seth through the heartbreak of another illness...even though Emily is fit, sexy and oh–so–alive.

Mark's as close as any man has come to being the prince Emily has always imagined. But she never imagined herself with MS. Emily doesn't want to be anyone's burden, and she doesn't want to hurt Mark's vulnerable son. So she'll harden her heart, stick to her work, and forget about the magic of Mark's touch. Or will they learn a lesson in love from a four–year–old boy...?
