Veiled Silence

KendraNeglected and unloved her whole life, Kendra's only dream was to have a family of her own-a home, a husband who loved her, and a house full of children. So when she meets Gideon Maddox, she cannot believe a man as powerful, handsome, and wealthy as him would ever look at her twice, let alone ask her to marry him and have his baby. After three years of trying, the test finally reads pregnant, and she's overjoyed...but before she can tell him about their Christmas miracle, her joy quickly turns to sorrow when her husband reveals that he only married her for convenience. Shattered, Kendra carries her precious secret into the cold, winter's night, never expecting the man who broke her heart to care enough to find her. GideonAs a child, Gideon Maddox knew nothing but duty and abandonment. Raising his three brothers, he became the head of a billion-dollar empire, one he'd bleed and kill for. But cold, hard cash doesn't keep him warm or produce an heir, so he marries the sweet, naïve, and utterly guileless Kendra. To him it's a marriage of convenience, so when she fails to produce an heir, and his dealings with the Mafia turn sour, he does something truly terrible. And when Kendra runs, taking a precious Christmas gift with her, Gideon realizes something far more important than all his power and wealth has slipped through his fingers.
