Expecting her rivalâs baby!
Driven businesswoman Eve Winchester has big plans to take her fatherâs Chicago real estate empire global. But when she ends up pregnant by her familyâs personal and professional nemesis, sheâs thrown into the shark tank of corporate intrigue. Now sheâs doing damage control as she falls even deeper for Graham Newport.
Graham has never had such a heated, secret fling. But suddenly Eve is pregnant, and no strings attached turns into the ties that bind. Graham wonât turn his back on whatâs his, but will family friction tear apart their fledgling affair?
âDonât kiss me. This isnât a good idea.â
Did that protest sound weak?
He nipped at her jawline, traveled up to her ear and whispered, âFeels like a great idea.â His hands curved over her backside, pulling her hips into his.
Grahamâs hands and mouth, his body for that matter, always seemed like the answer. He made her forget everything except for how her body seemed to zing to life. But she couldnât zing, not today.
Eve pressed her palms to his chest and eased back. âNo. I wonât be distracted by sex. I want your brother to back off with the media attacks and insults.â
She turned, needing to put some space between them. Having him so close was difficult.
But just as she spun away, a wave of dizziness overcame her. The room literally tilted before her eyes. Her hand went to her stomach just as strong arms wrapped around her torso.
Secure against Grahamâs chest, Eve kept her eyes shut as she pulled in a shaky breath. The dizziness remained. This was her first symptom of pregnancy.
âOkay?â he whispered in her ear.
Not really.

His Secret Baby Bombshell is part of the Dynasties: The Newports seriesâPassion and chaos consume a Chicago real estate empire.
Dear Reader,
Iâm thrilled to be part of this exciting continuity! With so many twists and turns, and a secret baby, I couldnât wait to start working on Eve and Grahamâs torrid romance.
A secret pregnancy is such a fun plot. I love to read it; I love to write it. But with two dynamic characters, this story was even more of a pleasure for me. Who doesnât love a hero and heroine clashing from the get-go? But thereâs a fine line between hate and passion. For these two, family differences are instantly put aside when their desires take over.
As a reader and writer, I cling to that independent heroine, the one who takes charge of her life and goes after what she wants. Eve is definitely that strong-willed woman. Sheâs not a bit ashamed to have a secret affair with her familyâs most heated rival...not to mention a younger man. Business and personal lives certainly donât need to mix, right?
Wrong.
An unexpected pregnancy is one sure way to expose their affair. Now Eve and Graham must decide whether their relationship is worth risking stirring up the animosity in their families. Can a baby bridge the Winchestersâ and the Newportsâ differences? More importantly, will they decide to come together as one united family?
I hope you enjoy this latest installment of Dynasties: The Newports!
Happy reading,
Jules

Déjà vu swept over Eve Winchester. Not again. This cannot be happening again.
The two pink lines mocked her denial.
Eve clutched the pregnancy test, gripping the side of her white pedestal sink with her other hand.
Sheets rustled in the bedroom. Through the crack in the bathroom door, Eve could see Graham Newport lying in her bed.
Now that she knew her predicament, she had no idea what step to take next. For someone who prided herself on plans, on spreadsheets and following through on details in a timely fashion, she was completely lost.
But her unknowns stemmed from the fear of what Graham would do. How would he react? How would their families, whose rivalry was legendary in Chicago, deal with this shocking news? The Newports and the Winchesters had enough drama on their hands lately. The Newport brothersâ paternity had been thrown into question earlier this year. Graham and his brother Brooks were still up in the air after their paternity tests came back negative, but their other brother, Carson, had discovered who his real father wasâSutton Winchester, who happened to be Eveâs, too.
