About the book: year / “Nine years and nine months” - this could be called the love story of a successful businessman Christian Harlow and the illegitimate daughter of a stripper Avery Shannon. Nine years separate their first and second meetings. And between them there is mutual suspicion and cruel resentment. But contrary to what might seem obvious, the passion that drove Christian and Avery into each other's arms did not fade away. However, it took another nine months - the time when they were waiting for the birth of their daughter - to understand: the feeling that united them is called love.
