He built his life on rules... until she shattered every single one.

Dr. Dawson is New York's most powerful surgeon ? brilliant, rich, and notoriously untouchable. His rule is simple: never spend more than one night with the same woman. Love and family were never part of his plan... until one life-saving moment changes everything.

When Dawson saves the life of a little girl, he discovers the unthinkable ? she's his daughter.

Jociélia never expected her fresh start in New York to come crashing down with two pink lines. The serious, determined young woman who grew up in an orphanage wanted nothing more than to chase her dreams and escape her painful past. Instead, one unforgettable night with the city's most desired man left her with a secret that would tie them together forever.

Now, they're bound by a child... and by a chemistry that's impossible to ignore.
He's protective, controlling, and dangerously seductive.
She's innocent, strong-willed, and refuses to be just another name on his list.

As passion ignites and old wounds resurface, the man who swore never to break his rules will have to choose: protect his heart or fight for the only woman ? and the daughter ? he can't live without.
