Publisher's Synopsis
Carmen has finally agreed to a baby through a surrogate mother. Alex has agreed to a Christmas vacation at his biological father's home. It is a huge step for each of them and emotions are running high. Not nearly as high as they get when they reach Texas. Alex doesn't want to go to Texas and his actions speak as loudly as his words. Carmen is shocked to discover the extent of his secrecy. Alex has hidden far more than a father. He has hidden a family and a lifestyle. Carmen wants to know why, but Alex doesn't want to discuss it. He claims she is better off not knowing. Carmen loves Alex, in spite of the way he is acting. She realizes that they must make some critical changes in their relationship, but she knows that her response may affect the rest of their marriage. People either grow together in times like these or they drift apart. She carefully measures each response. It isn't about winning an argument. It's about making their marriage stronger. It is no longer about Carmen and Alex, but their children as well. Carmen and Alex are each having a change of heart. Will they be able to make their relationship better or will they build walls between them?
