Runaway Single Mom, Safe in His Arms

Maria grew up in a small Texas town and moved to California for a man who never married her. She works factory shifts by day and babysits at night to support her daughter Judy, while her fiancé Tristan and his family treat her like the help and call Judy a thief. When Judy is punished and falls ill, Maria finally walks away with nothing but her child. Billionaire Levi Preston—whom she helped earlier at the factory—finds her that night and proposes a marriage of convenience, offering protection for both Maria and the daughter he already calls his own. He enrolls Judy in an elite school, but Tristan's family reappears there, forcing Maria to defend her new life.
