Peter Henson has always played the role of the elder—but when fate throws him and his niece's best friend, Ester, into a night they can't undo, he stops waiting. He marries her, claims her, protects her like treasure. But to Ester, he's still "Uncle Peter". That won't do. He's set on showing her the difference between an uncle... and a husband. As their bond deepens, dark secrets surface—Ester was switched at birth, and the real heiress wants her gone.
