Prologue
Bella waitresses by day and cleans by night, trying to escape the wrongs of her past. She's not remotely in the same class as impossibly rich, ruthless, and handsome Edward Cullen. And then one night at his London officers Edward notice's Bella's shapely form beneath her dowdy overalls and takes her virginity. Bella thinks that will be the end of it – until she discovers she's pregnant with the Italian billionaire's baby.
Edward finds out about the secret that darkens Bella's background. He doesn't believe her when she say's she's innocent, but her is prepared to overlook what he thinks is her guilt – he may not love her, but he will marry her and be a father to his child.
