Six years ago, Amelia Gray fled Gatham City in disgrace; pregnant and rejected by both her biological and adoptive families. Now she’s returned as a celebrated surgeon, accompanied by her three brilliant six-year-old children. Yet the mystery of her pregnancy remains the one puzzle she can’t solve, with no memory of that fateful night.
When she takes on a lucrative offer to treat Alan Blake, the formidable CEO of Blake Enterprises, Amelia ends up living next door to the most powerful man in Gatham City. Confined to a wheelchair after a tragic accident, Alan is used to controlling everyone and everything, except his new doctor, whose defiance challenges him, and whose ruby-scented perfume awakens memories he can’t quite place.
As sparks fly between the icy CEO and his headstrong physician, three genius children launch Operation “Mom’s Happiness.” After all, who better to ask than the man whose DNA they just tested?

Amelia couldn't help the slow curve of a smile tugging at her lips as she leaned casually against the wall, arms folded, watching her kids in action. They were naturals at this , working their charm on yet another unsuspecting adult who, judging by his stiff posture and slightly bewildered expression, probably hadn't been around children since… well, possibly ever. The "champ" in question was, of course, Alan Blake, the ever-composed CEO who carried himself like a man accustomed to boardrooms, formal dinners, and cutthroat negotiations , not the unpredictable energy of three small children who didn't believe in personal space or polite detachment.
