The Mother and the Millionaire

Esme couldn't speak when she saw the man who had appeared. The manor she'd grown up in was on the market, and Jack had showed up as a buyer. He was the son of the manor's former cook, and now he was a rich businessman. Ten years ago Esme had offered herself to him to comfort him when he was rejected by her older sister. The next day, Esme left home. Now they're meeting again after many years, and Esme has a secret she doesn't want him to know!
