Pregnant with the Italianâs child
Aristocratically arrogant Cesare di Mondave dazzled Carla Charteris when he swept into her life. It wasnât long before the brooding Italian stole her innocence, and her heart. Realizing sheâd never be more than a mistress was devastating, but Carla couldnât deny herself one last night in Cesareâs arms...
When Cesare discovers the shocking consequences, a thrill of possession runs through him. To claim his heir, itâs imperative Carla accepts his proposalâbut she defiantly refuses! Now Cesare must use every sinfully seductive skill he has to convince Carla he wants her in the bedroom and at the altar!
âAfter such a âlovely eveningâ¦ââ Cesareâs amusement was deeper now, his accented English doing even more to make her breathless ââ¦there is only one way to end it, no?â
For an instant he held Carlaâs gaze in the dim light, daring her to accept, to concede, to do what he wanted her to doâwhat heâd wanted from the first moment heâd set eyes on her.
âLike this,â he said.
He stretched his hand out, long fingers tilting up her face to his as his mouth lowered to hers. Slowly, sensuously, savouring. With skill, with expertise, with a lifetime of experience in how to let his lips glide over hers, to let his mouth open hers to his, to taste the sweetness within. As soft, as sensual as silk velvet.
She drowned in it. A thousand nerve-endings fired as he made free with her mouth, his long fingers still holding her. And when he had done he released her, drew back his hand, let it curve around the driving wheel.
He smiled. âBuone notte,â he said softly.
From the bedroomâto the altar!

CARLA LOOKED AT her watch for the umpteenth time, glancing out across the crowded restaurant towards the entrance. Where was he? Anxiety bit at her, and an emotion more powerful than thatâone she had never felt before. Had never thought to feel about the man she was waiting for.
She had thought only to feel what she had felt the first time she had set eyes on him. And she so desperately wanted to set eyes on him again nowâwalking in, striding with his effortlessly assured gait, tall and commanding, with that inbuilt assumption that he could go wherever he liked, that there would always be a place for him, that people would move aside to let him through, that no one would ever dream of turning him down or saying no to himânot about anything at all.
She had not turned him down. She had denied him nothingâgranted him everything. Everything heâd ever wanted of her...
Memory, hot and fervid, scorched within her. From the very first moment those hooded night-dark eyes had rested on her, assessing her, desiring her, she had been lost. Utterly lost! She had yielded to him with the absolute conviction that he was the only man who could ever have such an impact on her. That moment was imprinted on herâon her memory, on her suddenly heating body...on her heart.
Memory scorched again now, burning through her veins...

The art gallery was crowded with Romeâs wealthy, fashionable set, and champagne and canapés were circling as Carla threaded her way among them, murmuring words of greeting here and there.
