    [synopsis] => Jude Hurst is a thirty-year-old billionaire, living in Dallas, Texas. Born into money, as his family has made their money off of oil in Texas for three generations, he's spoiled rotten and used to getting anything he wants. Mercy Noland is a twenty-six-year-old Spa manager in Dallas, Texas. She's a no nonsense, has to work hard for her money kind of woman and strong to her core. Mercy's parents and older sister and her sister's husband died in an auto accident two years prior. She'd been babysitting her sister and brother-in-law's six-month-old daughter and two-year-old son when the tragedy happened and since their death she's taken them on to raise as her own. Now the kids are two and a half and four and real handfuls. Their initial encounter has Jude taking his current love interest, another spoiled rich woman, to the spa Mercy runs. After the woman makes a scene, Mercy comes to take care of the hard to handle client and finds Jude sitting by idly, watching his girlfriend be a huge bitch. After calming the woman down, Mercy casts a very disgusted glance at Jude who can't stand the fact she did that to him. He'd been watching her and had found her very intriguing and was thinking about comin back later and asking her out. So our story starts out with him seeking her attention and her not giving it to him. Jude's used to getting what he wants and goes after her full tilt. But Mercy isn't interested in being someone's sexual trophy. And she thinks that's all Jude wants. As the story goes on, she gives into him and they both feel a bond but she doesn't like his spoiled ways nor his overbearing nature. She thinks he'd be terrible with her niece and nephew. He has no idea about the kids as she keeps that part of her life hidden from him. In the middle of the books he'll find out about them and see Mercy in a whole new light. He's been thinking she was playing hard to get but then he sees she was protecting the kids. Jude really gains respect for her and finds himself growing up and thinking like a man and a father rather than the spoiled person he's become. Without her knowing what he's doing, he manages to spend some time with her niece and nephew while they're at their daycare. As he volunteers to read books to the kids there so he can get to know the kids. When he gets her to go out with him again after winning the kids over, she's shocked to find out they know the man as he shows up early to pick her up and she hasn't taken the kids to the babysitter yet. She doesn't take it the way he thinks she will, she gets furious and calls off the date and tells him she never wants to see him again. Jude's left not knowing what to do. He's fallen hopelessly in love with Mercy. Doing everything he can to get her to talk to him and let him explain he wasn't stalking her or trying to hurt her, he ends up getting in a car wreck as he follows her home one day after work. Jude is hurt in the accident very badly. Mercy feels horrible as she stays in the hospital with him. He's in the hospital for two weeks recovering from an emergency surgery. Jude asks her to please bring the kids to see him and she complies. While he's in the hospital she sees he needs her and loves her and she takes him up on his offer to move in with him on the huge ranch he has. After a while of living together, he asks her to marry him and she accepts. They all live happily ever after.
