Claiming his one-night baby
Callie Smith gave up everything to care for her alcoholic father. After his death, sheâs finally able to follow her own dreams. And what better way to celebrate than by spending an out-of-characterâbut outrageously sinfulânight with gorgeous Italian prince Luca Fabrizio?
To preserve his family dynasty, Luca was planning to marry a convenient brideâuntil Callie reveals the consequences of their heated encounter! Having just taken back her freedom, Callie refuses to wear his ring. To legitimize his heir, Luca must persuade her that life in his royal bed will be more pleasurable than she can possibly imagine!
âYouâre beautiful,â Luca murmured, reassuring and disarming Callie all in one breath.
âNo, Iâm not.â
âI guess thereâs only one way to convince you,â he said, laughing softly.
He drew her closer, inch by inch, and then he kissed her. And this was not a teasing brush of his lips, but something more that drew emotion out of her until she was happy and sad, excited and confused, all at once. She was happy to be here with him, and sad because she knew it couldnât last. He excited her. Her body was going crazy for moreâwhich he knew. And she was apprehensive too, in case she got this terribly wrong. There were so many ways she could get this wrong.
âStop,â Luca murmured against her mouth. âStop thinking and just allow yourself to feel, for once. Go with your instincts, Callie.â
Her instincts were telling her that she wanted this badly. Even more than that, she wanted the connection between them to last. But she had to face facts. Luca was an itinerant worker, as was she, and theyâd both move on.
He kissed away her doubts as he lowered her slowly to the groundâ¦
When one nightâ¦leads to pregnancy!
When succumbing to a night of unbridled desire
itâs impossible to think past the morning after!
But, with the sheets barely settled,
that little blue line appears on the pregnancy test and it doesnât take long to realise that one night of white-hot passion has turned into a lifetime of consequences!
Only one question remains:
How do you tell a man youâve just met
that youâre about to share more than just his bed?

AS FUNERALS WENT, this was as grand as it got. As tradition demanded Luca, who was now the ruling Prince, arrived last, to take his place of honour in the packed cathedral. He was seated in front of the altar beneath a cupola with images painted by Michelangelo. Towering bronze doors to one side were so stunningly crafted they were known as the âgateway to paradiseâ. Tense with grief, Luca was aware of nothing but concern that heâd pulled out all the stops for a man to whom he owed everything. Flags were flown at half-mast across the principality of Fabrizio. Loyal subjects lined the streets. Flowers had been imported from France. The musicians were from Rome. A procession of priceless horse-drawn carriages drew dignitaries from across the world to the cathedral. Lucaâs black stallion, Force, drew his fatherâs flag-draped coffin on a gun carriage with the Princeâs empty boots reversed in the stirrups. It was a poignant sight, but the proud horse held his head high, as if he knew his precious cargo was a great man on his final journey.
