One night, one bed...one baby!
When chauffeur Keira Ryan accidentally drives her car into a snowdrift, she and her devastatingly attractive passenger must find a hotel...only to discover theyâll be sharing a bed! Luckily, billionaire Matteo Valenti takes it upon himself to show virgin Keira just how to make the most of a bad situationâwith the most sizzling experience of her life.
Itâs nearly Christmas again before Matteo uncovers Keiraâs secret. He may have resisted commitment his whole life, but now itâs time to claim his son and heir...
âCanât sleep?â
The Italianâs silky voice penetrated her spinning thoughts and Keira could tell from the shifting weight on the mattress that Matteo Valenti had turned his head to talk to her. She swallowed. Should she pretend to be asleep? But what would be the point of that? She suspected he would see through her ruse immediatelyâand wasnât it a bit of a relief not to have to keep still any more?
âNo,â she admitted. âCanât you?â
He gave a short laugh. âI wasnât expecting to.â
âWhy not?â
His voice dipped. âI suspect you know exactly why not. Itâs a somewhat unusual situation to be sharing a bed with an attractive woman and having to behave in such a chaste manner.â
Keira was glad of the darkness which hid her sudden flush of pleasure. Had the gorgeous and arrogant Matteo Valenti actually called her attractive? And was he really implying that he was having difficulty keeping his hands off her? Of course he might only be saying it to be politeâbut he hadnât exactly been a model of politeness up until now, had he?
âI thought you said you didnât find me attractive?â
âThatâs what I was trying to convince myself.â
In the darkness, she gave a smile of pleasure. âI could go downstairs and see if I could get us some more tea.â
âPlease.â He groaned. âNo more tea.â
âThen I guess weâll have to resign ourselves to a sleepless night.â She plumped up her pillow and sighed as she collapsed back against it. âUnless youâve got a better suggestion?â

CHAPTER ONE
âMR VALENTI?â
The womanâs soft voice filtered into Matteoâs thoughts and he made no effort to hide his exasperation as he leaned back against the leather seat of the luxury car. Heâd been thinking about his father. Wondering if he intended carrying out the blustering threat heâd made just before Matteo had left Romeâand if so, whether or not he could prevent it. He gave a heavy sigh, forcing himself to accept that the ties of blood went deeper than any others. They must do. He certainly wouldnât have tolerated so much from one person if they hadnât been related. But family were difficult to walk away from. Difficult to leave. He felt his heart clench. Unless, of course, they left you.
