A deal sealed with passion!
Illegitimate and overlooked, Eleni, Princess of Drakon, yearns for a family. At a masquerade ball, one stolen kiss with a stranger sparks an opportunity! Gabriel Marquez wants her to care for his childâcould this be Eleniâs chance to strike a deal of her own?
Gabriel, Drakonâs biggest investor, is shocked by Eleniâs bold bargaining...but a convenient marriage would be advantageous to them both! Heâll gain a stand-in mother for his daughter, and Eleni the baby she longs for. Except Gabriel hasnât predicted the fire raging between them...one which will bind them together forever!
âCome now, Princesa. You had the nerve to propose marriage to me. Donât shy away now.â
âIâ¦I do not ask for your fidelity or your love, Gabriel. I do not need such delusions in my life. I only ask that you give meâ¦â
Such color filled Eleniâs cheeks that Gabriel stared, transfixed. Her lips trembled and she dug her teeth into the lower one. Lust punched him like an invisible blow, and it was all he could do not to tug at that lower lip and taste her himself.
âEleni?â he prompted, in a harsh voice set on edge by the delectable temptation she made.
âI want a baby. A child of my own. I was in the process of going through adoption agencies when youâ¦you threatened to pull your company out of Drakon. Itâs not something Iâm willing to give up onâfor anyone.â
Every muscle in his body stiffened. Every instinct he possessed warned him to walk away from this deal with this woman. But even as he processed it, he had to admire her guts.
âA baby? Youâre bargaining for a baby?â

ONE KISS...
Eleni Drakos stood at the outer fringes of the black-and-white-tiled ballroom and peered through her elaborate mask.
One kiss from any man whoâd look at her with warmth and desire, a man who could make her forget that a chasm of cutting loneliness was all that stretched ahead in her life.
One kiss because it was her thirtieth birthday and she was quite sick of her stagnant life, of pretending that the sight of her sister-in-law with her swollen belly didnât send a shaft of ache through her, or that she didnât crave a family of her own.
Sheâd lived her entire life within the rules her father, King Theos, had set, ensuring that her brothers, Andreas and Nikandros, had everything they had ever needed.
What she hadnât foreseen was that in the end, she would be alone. Just as she had been all these years.
She walked aimlessly at the fringes of the vast oval-shaped ballroom, the cut-crystal chandeliers making the resplendently dressed men and women glitter. She wasnât the only one hiding her identity behind the mask. The masquerade ball was an annual tradition of the House of Drakos and yet, with her father Theosâs dementia becoming worse, it had not been held in four years.
But because the conservative traditionalists were balking at Andreasâs continued absence after their fatherâs death, and they feared that Nikandros and Gabriel Marquezâs partnership was a risk to Drakonâs economy, Eleni had suggested that they hold the ball again as a way of pacifying them.
