Book excerpt: Illeana Jacobs knew the day she met Stacy Lorde he would steal her heart. Reminding him how they came from different worlds didn't faze him, not when dealing with a man who was used to getting what he wanted, when he wanted it. But, once he conquered her, he broke her heart and drove her from him never expecting to see him again. Fate thought otherwise. Face to face with her past she had to deal with the pain while trying to hide her feelings from him, an impossible task. Her heart refused to let go of the one it loved.Stacy never got over Illeana or let go of the hope that one day he would find her again. Which side of the tracks she was born on never bothered him, even if it made a big difference to others in his life. As far as he was concerned, Illeana was the perfect woman. He would do anything and everything in his power to show her she was the only one he wanted, even if it meant turning his back on his family.The woman of his dreams had walked out on him once. It would be a cold day in hell before Stacy let her walk out on him again.
