Publisher's Synopsis
Celebrated fantasy/horror novelist Mahalia 'Hailie' Derwood has the inspiration of a lifetime when she decides to hire an illustrator for her next book. Darius Grant is a virtual unknown - and seven years younger - but Hailie can't deny his talent, or their instant attraction. Darius's devotion to Hailie and her son is without question, but when Hailie's ex - a man closer to Darius than he could ever imagine - returns, Darius finds himself fighting for the woman and child who have stolen his heart...and the love that has filled his life.
