Surrendering to the Italian billionaire
When ruthless Rafael Vitali learns the woman in his bed is the daughter of his sworn enemy, he canât get her out of his penthouse quick enough. But when Allegra reveals sheâs pregnant, Rafael seizes the opportunity to assert his control. He insists Allegra move to Sicily...as his wife!
Allegraâs night of abandon with Rafael shattered the life she once knew. His claim over her body, and their unborn child, is undeniable, but giving him a claim over her fragile heart is beyond foolishâyet the temptation he poses is wildly, wickedly irresistible...
âYou are so beautiful. So lovely.â
With gentle hands Rafael pushed her disordered curls away from her face, his fingers skimming across her skin, exploring her features. Allegra closed her eyes, submitting to his touch, revelling in it. The feel of his fingers on her face felt as intimate as a kiss, his touch so gentle and reverent it made her ache in an entirely new way. He slid his hands lower, each touch a question, his fingers feeling her collarbone and then his palm moulding to the curve of her breast.
âA different kind of music,â he murmured, his mouth following the trail of his hand, and she laughed, the sound shaky and breathless.
Yes, this was new music, and he was teaching her its breathtaking melody. Sheâd thought that in this moment she might feel fear, or at least uncertainty, but she didnât. She felt wonderful, and she wanted to keep feeling wonderfulâto come alive under someoneâs hands and feel as close to another person as she could. For one night. One moment. When would she ever get a chance like this again?
Somehow Rafael had managed to slip her dress from her shoulders, and now her upper half was bare to him. He bent his head, nudging aside her bra with his tongue, and she gasped aloud. The feel of him against her sensitised flesh was a jolt to her whole body.
âOh...â The single syllable held a world of newly gained knowledge as pleasure pierced her with sweet arrows. Her hands roved over his back, drawing him closer to her.
Desire was an insistent pulse inside her. Of their own accord her hips rose, welcoming the knowing touch of his hand. His fingers brushed her underwear and she bit off a gasp.
Sheâd had no idea...
One Night With Consequences
When one night...leads to pregnancy!
When succumbing to a night of unbridled desire itâs impossible to think past the morning after!

CHAPTER ONE
IT SEEMED AS if a funeral was just a chance for people to get drunk. Not that Allegra Wells had personal experience of such a thing. Sheâd stuck to sparkling water all evening and now stood on the sidelines of the opulent hotel ballroom in Rome where her fatherâs wake was being held and watched people booze it up. She could have felt bitter, or at least cynical, but all she could dredge up was a bone-aching, heart-deep weariness.
