Three years ago, Adrian Blackwell believed another woman's tears—and destroyed Claire Bennett's career. He never knew she was raising his son. Now Claire has returned to television with five-year-old Noah, a boy who can negotiate a bargain, solve a puzzle, and spot a fake smile before the cameras do. One viral clip brings them everything Claire needs: paid work, a fresh start, and a chance to stop running. It also brings Adrian. The resemblance is impossible to ignore. So is his demand to know why she kept Noah from him. But while Adrian wants answers, the woman he once protected wants Claire gone again. This time, she's willing to use Claire's child to make it happen. Claire has already lost her name, her career, and years of her life. She won't let them take her son's voice too.
