She doesn't believe in happily ever afters since Evan Davies abruptly walked out of her life six years ago without a word of explanation.
But now he's back and he's brought his explanation with him. A daughter who needs all the love and care Nathalie can give her. Can she take a chance open her heart to this child and the man who broke it once before?

Excerpt:
Polly knelt on a chair at the kitchen table with her colouring pencils.
“That's a nice picture.” He admired her handiwork. The picture was of a man and a woman holding hands with crowns on their heads. A drawing of a little girl with yellow hair, also wearing a crown, was next to them.
“That's you and Nathalie getting married,” Polly explained. “I'm in my princess dress because I'm the bridesmaid.”
Evan swallowed. “Um - Poll, sweetheart, Nathalie and I are just friends. We aren't getting married.” Even as he said the words out loud, he knew he wanted to marry Nathalie, had always wanted to marry Nathalie. The revelation quickened his pulse as it hit home like a thunderbolt.
“I saw you kiss her - I peeped round the door when she said goodnight. That means you'll marry her,” Polly declared confidently as she began to colour in Nathalie's hair in the picture with a black fibre-tip pen.
“Poll, it's not that simple, okay?”
His daughter silenced him with a look and a shrug of her shoulders. At least he should be grateful that Polly didn't want him to remarry Laurel.
He toyed with the idea of calling Nathalie but he felt the initiative needed to come from her. If he pushed too hard at the moment, he could make everything worse. He rubbed his hand through his hair in frustration. The cases he dealt with in court weren't as tricky to handle as Nathalie and his feelings for her.
The house phone rang and he rushed to answer it, hoping it would be her.
