Jo Thornton was shocked when she found out that the estate on which her restaurant stood was being sold, and she was horrified that Adam Roker was a leading member of the syndicate doing the buying. Eight years ago, Adam had walked out of her life, leaving her heartbroken; was it so surprising that she wasn't prepared simply to kiss and make up? And, whatever financial power he now had over her, Jo knew that she must never let him know that Jon was his son...
