Bound by their shock baby

But Ramonâs gaze pierces right through her, revealing her deepest desires! Unable to hide from their potent chemistry, Emily surrenders to one glorious night in Paris...
When he discovers that their passion resulted in an unexpected pregnancy, Ramon wonât leave Emilyâs side. Beneath her cool exterior is a vulnerable woman he feels compelled to protect. Heâll make her his any way he canâeven if that means tying her to him with his ring!
âYou are pregnant, Emily.â Ramonâs voice turned a shade cooler. âWith my child.â He paced away, turned back. âWould you relegate me to the role of a part-time father? Someone who breezes in and out of our childâs life whenever the custody arrangement tells me I can?â
Emily felt her face blanch. That was exactly the kind of arrangement sheâd assumed they would eventually agree upon. But Ramonâs description made her blood run cold. Made her think of all the times sheâd curled up on her bed as a little girl and cried, believing her daddy didnât care enough to visit her.
A fluttery, panicky feeling worked its way up her throat. âBut what about us?â
He clasped her shoulders. âWeâre good together, querida. Are you denying that?â
âLust is hardly a foundation for marriage.â
The hard line of his mouth softened. âBut itâs a good starting point, sÃ?â

CHAPTER ONE
âYOU OWE ME for this, Xav.â
Ramon de la Vega dropped into a chair in front of his brotherâs desk and stretched out his legs.
Eight hours on a transatlantic commercial flight, another hour in the back of a company limo inching through endless queues of bumper-to-bumper traffic, and he felt as if heâd been straitjacketed for a week.
His mood carefully harnessed, he lounged back and perched his feet on the corner of his brotherâs desk. âI had planned to spend the weekend in Vegas,â he added.
His brother, Xavier, sat in a high-backed chair on the other side of the massive oak deskâan antique heirloom their father had handed down along with the company reins to his eldest son. Behind him a thick pane of wall-to-wall glass framed a sweeping view of Barcelona that drew no more than a brief, disinterested glance from Ramon. Instead, he focused on his brother, who looked impossibly cool and immaculate in a dark tailored suit in spite of the mid-August heat. As always, Xavâs features were stern, his posture stiff. Only his right hand moved, his fingertips drumming an incessant beat on the desktopâs fine leather inlay.
The sound, amplified by the dearth of any other in the vast corner office, penetrated Ramonâs eardrums like a blunt needle and reminded him that flying and alcohol made for an unwise mix.
âDoing what?â Xavâs voice carried the hint of a sneer. âGambling or womanising?â
Ramon ignored the disdain in his brotherâs voice and unleashed his grinâthe one he knew could fell a woman at fifty paces. Or tease the tension out of an uptight client in a matter of seconds. Against his only sibling, however, the impact was negligible. âIt is called recreation, brother.â He kept his tone light. âYou should try it some time.â
