 Dear Reader,
 When I was young, I loved The Nun’s Story with Audrey Hepburn. I decided I wanted to study science and work in Africa, discover something phenomenal under a microscope. But my math skills were nonexistent, so I turned to something else. I know I created this story entitled Falling for Her Secret Billionaire because it’s about the woman I would have liked to become. She’s a wonderful person.
 Enjoy!

 CHAPTER ONE
 THANK HEAVEN FOR a day off from the hospital!
 This Friday morning, Françoise packed up some items in her apartment in Nice to ship to a storage unit in Paris. She didn’t want to have to take anything with her except a suitcase. In less than three weeks she’d be flying home to take the last of her medical boards. With luck she’d receive her doctorate.
 The last item to go in the box was her father’s black medical bag. He’d never had another one and it was her most prized possession. Sixty-one-year-old Patrick Valmy, who had died five months ago, had been a distinguished doctor. His fatal heart attack shouldn’t have happened. Her mother, an incredible nurse who’d worked with him, had died a year before from pneumonia. She missed both of them horribly.
 As she looked inside the bag one more time, it slipped from her hands and fell upside down on the floor. Out came the percussion hammer and stethoscope she’d played with as a child.
 Surprised, Françoise leaned over to pick up everything, including an old dark brown billfold. For some reason it had been lying in the bottom of the bag with everything on top of it. She’d never seen it before.
 Curious, she looked inside and discovered a faded document of some kind. When she pulled it out and opened it, the first thing to catch her eye was the print at the top of the paper.
 Groupe Français pour l’Adoption
 Adoption? She frowned. What was this paper doing in the bottom of her father’s bag? According to the information here, he’d delivered a baby. His patient’s? Or someone he’d helped in an emergency?
 Une enfant femelle. Née 10 Fevrier
 Docteur attitré: Patrick Valmy.
 Mere: inconnue
 Pere: inconnue
 Inconnue... Unknown.
 Françoise looked down at the signatures of the adopters.
 Patrick Valmy and Dionne Valmy
 What?
 Those were her parents’ signatures!
 They’d adopted this baby?
 Françoise had been their only baby because her mother couldn’t have more children. She’d gone through three miscarriages before Françoise’s birth. If they’d adopted this child and it had died, why hadn’t she known about it?
 Beneath their names was the year of the adoption. Twenty-eight years ago. She’d just celebrated her twenty-eighth birthday on February 10. Françoise did the math.
 No, it couldn’t be!
 She let out a gasp and fell back on the couch.
 Something was very wrong here. She read it over and over again.
 If this were to be believed, Françoise had been their adopted baby!
 She wouldn’t have cared about being adopted, but she couldn’t imagine them not telling her everything. They’d had her whole life to be honest with her. Why hadn’t they wanted her to know? Why the secrecy? Did they think that she would love them any less, or resent them if she’d learned the truth?
 The questions kept coming. Her mother had always said she wanted more children. Why hadn’t they adopted another child to give her a brother or sister? How had they kept her adoption
