He was her formidable guardian...and she craved his touch!
When domineering Spaniard Izar Agustin was made guardian to innocent Liliana Girard Brooks, he couldnât have known that the passing years would turn this young girl into an alluring woman begging to be shown the unconscious desires of her body.
For as long as she can remember, Lilianaâs coolly elusive keeper has haunted her fevered imagination. Hoping to sever the ties that bind them, she recklessly gives in to one night of sensual abandon, shattering her naive fantasies irrevocably. But the consequences of that night will bind them together...forever!
Izar shouldnât have engaged with her. He shouldnât have listened to a word she saidâbecause how could it matter? And who cared if the woman who was still his duty had gone and transformed herself into the physical manifestation of his deepest desires?
That he had noticed at all was appalling. But in that moment, Izar did more than notice. He let his eyes drift down to Lilianaâs lips and linger there.
âOhâ¦â she said softly, and the sound was ripe with too many meanings.
Revelation and understanding. Something like wonder. A touch of daring besides. And it poured through him, molten-hot and impossible to resist.
âHoney, not vinegar. I should have realized. The great and terrible Izar Agustin only acts tough.â
She threw herself forward and into him, catching herself with her palms flat against his chest even as his hands came up to grip her upper arms. Automatically, he told himself. To push her away, he told himself but he didnât.
Her skin was every bit as smooth to the touch as heâd tried not to imagine. The contact was like fire, surging through him, making him insane enough to understand that he was hot and hard and unwilling to do a damn thing to change it.
And then Liliana surged up on her toes and pressed her lips to his.
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!
But, with the sheets barely settled, that little blue line appears on the pregnancy test and it doesnât take long to realise that one night of white-hot passion has turned into a lifetime of consequences!
Only one question remains:
How do you tell a man youâve just met that youâre about to share more than just his bed?

CHAPTER ONE
âTHIS PARTY IS finally looking like the birthday gift to you itâs supposed to be, Lily!â
Lilianaâs roommate Kay was practically shivering with glee as she bounded into the narrow kitchen, which was normal for her even in the middle of the loud, crowded party they were currently hosting in their Bronx, New York apartment.
âThe most beautiful man Iâve ever seen in my entire life just walked into our living room and asked for you. You promised you were going to change your life, remember?â Kay grinned and let her smile go a little bit salacious. âAnd believe me when I tell you that doing anything at all with this particular man will not be a hardship.â
Liliana Girard Brooks, whoâd gone by Lily Bertrand since sheâd started college, to put a little space between her brand-new life and her internationally recognizable name with all that history attached to it, had vowed earlier that chilly November evening that her twenty-third birthday party was going to change her boring, stiflingly barren existence as a latter-day nun once and for all.
