Sheâd pay the price with two words. I do.
After a shocking media exposé reveals that the compelling stranger she lost her virginity to is debauched bachelor Dante Mancini, Piper Riley is stunned! Their unexpected but exquisite night has left them inextricably bound...
When Dante learns that Piper is pregnant, the heartless playboy sees the perfect opportunity to restore his business reputationâby making Piper his wife! But Piper wonât settle for anything less than happy-every-after. Dante must overcome his past to prove to Piperâand the worldâthat this is more than a convenient match...
âI am in need of a wife and you are carrying my childâwhich makes you the perfect choice.â
âIn need of a wife?â Piper stumbled over the word âwifeâ, hardly able to believe Dante wanted her to become his wife. How could a self-professed playboy, a man who had the wealth, power and looks to have any woman he wanted, want to marry her?
âI am in negotiations for a business deal which I can only pull off if I am seen to be a man with family values. I need a wifeâa woman I am seen with in publicâ¦one who can be discreet. Because that untimely piece in Celebrity Spy! has made those negotiations somewhat difficult. What better way to prove I am a man of family honour than to stand by the woman who is carrying my child?â
âYou make it all sound like a business deal.â
âThat, cara, is precisely what it will be. You came for money and support and you will now get bothâproviding we are seen out in public as the perfect couple. The world must believe we are madly in love. In return you will have the honour of being the woman who tamed Dante Mancini.â
Dante looked at her, saw her face pale and watched her eyes close, provoking images of her beneath him as passion had driven her wild and heâd unwittingly claimed her as his. Now she would pay the price of acting the part of a seductress when sheâd been nothing more than an innocent virgin. Sheâd pay the price with two words. I do.

PROLOGUE
Two months ago
PIPER LOST ALL sense of reason as his kiss seared her skin and his accomplished touch brought her body to life in a way sheâd never known. The pain and grief that this day held for her were blotted out as he whispered words of Italian that sounded romantic, but she had no hope of understanding them.
She gloried in his embrace, for the first time in many months feeling treasured, wanted and needed. What would come after this moment she couldnât think about now. She didnât want to face the emptiness. All she wanted was to abandon herself to this man and his passion, to yield to his kisses and give herself utterly and completely to the momentâand to him.
She gasped in frustration as he stopped kissing her. He pulled away and looked down at her, his sinfully dark caramel eyes full of desireâfor her. Empowered by this, she smiled at him, unable to hide the longing that was tearing through her faster than lightning. Sheâd never been desired by any man, and had certainly never been kissed the way he had just kissed her. But, more than that, it was the way she wanted him to kiss her again and again.
