âYou have one new message...â
âKnow this, Catalina. You might be a princess, you might be wearing my ring, you might have taken 200,000 euros of my money...but you are carrying my child, and I will find you.â
Catalina had never stepped out of line, until one stolen Christmas night of irresistible passion with French billionaire Nathanial Giroud changed her life forever.
Now, hidden in the Pyrenees, Catalina is determined to protect the small life growing within her from the anguish of her own royal upbringing. Even if she has to defy the husband she so desperately craves!
âI am staying in the palace tonight, in the same wing as you,â Nathaniel said quietly, his breath blowing against the sensitive lobe of Catalinaâs ear.
âHowâ¦?â It was a fight to breathe, let alone talk. âHow do you know which wing Iâm in?â
âBecause I made it my business to know.â He inhaled deeply and she knew it was her scent he breathed in so greedily.
He kept his hold on her hand as he stepped back and gazed down at her.
He had a magnetism she had felt from their first introduction all those years ago.
He was the only man she had ever wondered aboutâ¦
âAt one oâclock I will come to your door.â He pressed a kiss to her knuckles. âI know your companion has the adjoining room, so I will not knock. I will be there, but I will leave our fate in your hands. If you donât open it I will go back to my room and you can pretend I was never there. But before you make that decision of whether or not to open the door ask yourself thisâwhen was the last time you did something solely for yourself that wasnât bound up in duty? Youâre a princess, Catalina, but tonight I can teach you how to be a woman too.â

CHAPTER ONE
âYOU WERE RIGHT to end your engagement,â Nathaniel Giroud murmured, nodding lazily at the dance floor where Prince Helios and his bride were dancing together, clearly enjoying themselves. âHelios would have made you unhappy.â
Princess Catalina Fernandez took a long drink of her champagne. There was the faintest tremor in her hand. âHow can you be so sure?â
âNo chemistry.â He paused before adding, âNot like the chemistry between you and I.â
Her heart-shaped chin pointed forward and she pushed her chair back from the table they were sitting alone at, the motion sending a small waft of her sultry scent into his path.
He longed to smell every part of her.
âWe cannot have this conversation,â she said quietly. âWhat you are implying is impossible.â
He rested a hand on hers before she could get to her feet. âWhy is it impossible?â
âYou know why.â She slid her hand away and met his gaze. âI must save myself for my husband. My purity is my gift for him.â
