Carrying the princeâs secret heir!
For one night, reclusive heiress Trella Sauveterre throws off the fear-ridden shackles of her childhood abductionâsuccumbing to a sizzling seduction, she falls unexpectedly pregnant! Deeply uncomfortable in the spotlight, Trella canât bear a high-profile pregnancy and keeps the identity of her babyâs father hidden...
Then a tabloid photo of a scorching kiss implicates Crown Prince Xavier of Elazar in the scandal. Heâll do anything to claim his shock childâeven kidnapping Trella! Now Xavier must legitimize his son. And itâll be his pleasure to make Trella his royal bride!
âFeel, bella. Feel how much youâre exciting me.â Xavier moved Trellaâs hand all the way under the sash, so the pounding of his heart slammed into her palm. âThis isnât anything Iâve ever experienced either.â
Her scalp tingled. She dropped her champagne, ignoring the delicate breaking of crystal, wanting too badly to touch him with both hands. She slid her fingers to the back of his neck and raised her mouth, inviting him to kiss her. It was pure instinct and he didnât hesitate, covering her parted lips as though heâd been let off his leash after being tempted too long.
The world stopped, then spun the other way, dizzying her. She made one whimpering noise, astonished by how thoroughly such a thing could devastate her, wilting all her muscles.
She distantly heard another delicate glass shatter and then he picked her up, lifting his head to reveal a fierce expression. Victory? Not quite, but there was something conquering there. Something exalted.
Yet his bright gaze asked a question.
She nodded, unable to speak, and just gave herself up to itâto him. She knew when to fight her body and when to surrender. Perhaps it was the silver lining to all those years of having to accept that physiology trumped logic. This was bigger than anything she could make sense of.

Back in 2012 I received a callâThe Callâfrom editor Megan Haslam, telling me she wanted to buy my book. It was my first sale and terribly exciting. I have since worked with some of the other fabulous editors in the London office, but with Princeâs Son of Scandal I came back to working with Megan. Iâd gone so far down a rabbit hole with Trella in the first three books of this quartet I really wasnât sure I could pull off her story. Megan offered just the right feedback to help me make it work. Weâre reunited and it feels so good!
Iâd also like to dedicate this book to you, Dear Reader, for your wonderful letters and support for the Sauveterre Siblings. Iâm so glad you love these characters as much as I do.
CHAPTER ONE
Six months ago...
WHEN THE GREETER at the ballroom entrance asked Trella Sauveterre for her name, she nearly gave an arrogant âyou know who I am.â
She bit it back. Her sister was never acerbic. Not with strangers, and definitely not with underlings. Her twin was perfectly capable of terse words and might even hurl some blue ones at Trella when she learned what she was doing right now, but Angeliqueâs personality was one of sensitivity and empathy. Gentleness and kindness.
