Daughter Doriana is shocked, to say the least. She was in her teens and madly in love with the motorcycle riding Logan when she discovered her pregnancy. Logan left town before she could tell him, his relationship with his own father in shambles.

Doriana's family was not happy, but supported her and Josh completely. But Dorie never revealed the identity of the baby's father. She was afraid her father would track him down and hurt him -- and, just possibly, she was ashamed of his lower class upbringing.

Now Dorie is Vice President of Project Development in her father's company. Seeing Logan again rekindles the passion within her, but she fears he will just leave again. So she continues to hide his prior relationship to her. The mystery is thoroughly engrossing and well-plotted. The solution is logical, but not obvious.

Doriana and Logan are thoroughly fleshed out characters with understandable reactions. Sexy secretary Candi is fascinatingly complex. Josh is going through a normal teen rebellion, complicating his mother's life.

The character I found puzzling was Dorie's father. He was paying Logan to work undercover and find the saboteur, yet he was reluctant to blame anyone. He was supportive of his daughter's single parenthood, yet he overrode her decisions on handling Josh. He seemed to give her little credit for her job efforts, while unconditionally spoiling her playboy brother Marco.

I found the ending a little too "happily ever after" for everyone, but I did enjoy this tale of first (and last) love.
