From the back cover

For eight years, Tanya Tayler's mother has worked as a maid at the Whitmore estate, and Tanya has kept one secret from her: her relationship with Ryan Whitmore, the family's son. Her mother believes Tanya despises him, unaware that the two meet in a condo Ryan hides under a friend's name so his mother will never learn about the maid's daughter.

When her mother comes home gossiping about Ryan's engagement and the shameless woman clinging to him, Tanya ends things with Ryan that night. He answers with a cold laugh, reminding her she is only the maid's daughter and threatening to tell everyone she seduced him if she walks out.

Still, Ryan keeps his hold on her, appearing outside her run-down apartment and driving her to the condo only they know. Caught between her mother's talk of marrying well and Ryan's control, Tanya must decide how much of herself she is willing to lose.

Inside the book Opening excerpt

"How can a woman be that shameless? Ryan's getting married, and she still won't let go.

"She must be smart, though. After all these years, Mrs. Whitmore still hasn't figured out who she is.

"She said once she finds her, she'll ask the girl's parents what kind of daughter they raised."

Mom kept talking, not noticing how pale I'd gone.

That night, I broke up with Ryan at the condo.

I cried until I couldn't anymore.

Ryan said nothing.
