What happens when your best friend betrays you? Can you forgive a teenage mistake?

When ESTHER WOODHALL steps out of a hotel lift and sees a glorious naked man standing by the concierge, all her sense tingle. As she looks up at his face, her heart sinks. Jordan, her neighbour and best friend, the man who abandoned her eight years ago after she tricked him into sex to escape a forced marriage with an older man. Caught in the act and thrown onto the streets took her from one bad situation into another. Homeless and pregnant, a wonderful foster family took her in, but the friendship with Jordan was broken beyond repair. For the past eight years, she's worked hard to create a decent life for her and her profoundly deaf daughter, Ashia. Will he forgive her when he finds out the truth?

For the past eight years, JORDAN STOJANOV has stayed away from Sydney where he grew up. The city holds too many unhappy memories for him. When he can't avoid a business trip to Sydney, and a chance meeting with Esther changes everything. The chemistry between him and Esther has grown from their old friendship into a fierce fire, a connection that can't be denied. When he learns about his daughter, he rearranges his life to meet her, but Esther sets four rules for him before he can meet Ashia. Jordan's desperation to meet Ashia, and the heat between him and Esther, leads to Jordan's greatest wish being within reach. Can he move beyond his past to claim the future he yearns for?
