She had given up on love. He had given up on marriage. At thirty four, Amara Bennett no longer believes that a man could truly love her. After years of heartbreak and rejection, all she wants now is a child and a peaceful home. As a primary school teacher who has always had a soft spot for children, she decides to take an unusual path to get the family she has always dreamed of. Kieran Hawthorne, a wealthy and emotionally distant businessman, has no interest in falling in love again. After a failed marriage, his only concern is his six year old twin daughters, who need someone they can trust. When their paths cross, the two make an arrangement neither of them expects to regret. A marriage without love. No promises. No emotional attachment. Just two strangers agreeing to give each other what they need. But living under the same roof has a way of changing things. Soon, the rules they made for their marriage begin to feel harder to follow, the children grow closer to the woman they never expected to have, and feelings neither of them wants begin to surface. And when the past comes knocking, they may discover that keeping their hearts out of the marriage is much harder than they ever imagined. They agreed never to fall in love. But what happens when love has already found them?
