The final showdown may mean losing it all. Julie Connolly thought she had perfected the art of emotional eating, but ever since she learned of her father's passing, she's taken it to new heights. The bastard has figured out how to destroy her life from the grave. Her father's proposal-abandon her son Cody, so someone else can raise him, or lose her inheritance. The outrageous condition doesn't deserve a response but the lawyer her father hired demands an answer. Before she can tell the ambulance-chaser exactly where he can shove his demands, her worst fears come alive: Cody is kidnapped. Her only hope comes from Ben Mooring, a man she hates nearly as much as her father. Though Ben Mooring lost his chance with Julie years ago, she and Cody still mean the world to him. He practically raised the kid for years when he was with Julie. When Cody goes missing, Ben drops everything to search for him. He might never win a spot in Julie's life again, but he can't rest while Cody is in danger and Julie needs him. Julie and Ben join forces to find Cody, but they have to work quickly. Their chances of finding him diminish the longer he's missing. She trusts him with her son's life but can she trust him with her heart?
