Love Survives the Dark

Emily Rivers, a widow, agrees to a desperate bargain: she will bear a child for a wealthy family in exchange for the medical care that might save her gravely ill mother-in-law. Her role is that of a woman hired to provide an heir, a position she never imagined taking on. The story opens on a single night behind prison walls, a moment that tangles her fate with the family's and sets the romance and hardship in motion.
