Pregnant...and at his mercy!
Charlotte Adair spent her life locked away in a tower. Her fatherâs death frees her to find the one man sheâs ever loved...only to discover billionaire Rafe Costa is now blind, believes she betrayed him and is bent on a vengeful seduction!
Rafe is shocked to realize that Charlotte is a virgin, but weeks after their scorching encounter, he learns sheâs pregnantâwith twins! To claim his heirs, Rafe steals Charlotte away to his castle, but she is far from a biddable prisoner. She is irresistible, defiant, and Rafe must seduce her into compliance!
âWhat exactly are you proposing?â Charlotte asked, her words cool.
âIâll make it very clear. I donât care what youâve been doing for the past five years. I donât care what you do tomorrow, for that matter. I care about tonight. Tonight I want to make sure we finish what is between us. Tonight I want you in my bed.â
Rafe jerked back when trembling fingers touched his lower lip. The shock of it immobilized him. It had been so long since he had been touched. So he stood absolutely still as she traced his lower lip, his upper lip, mimicking what he had just done to her. She traced his jaw and then moved her fingers, featherlight, down the side of his neck, where they came to rest on his pulse.
âUnless youâre afraid of me,â she said, âthen it appears I still have the same effect on you that I once did.â
He held her chin, keeping her still. âThat may be. But one thing has changed. I do not love you, Charlotte. Quite the opposite. If I take you to my bed you will be giving yourself to a man who hates you. Though I wonder if that matters? Because it certainly doesnât matter to me. I find that I want you regardless.â
âOne night?â And this time a slight tremble worked its way into her words.
âJust one,â he responded.
She let out a long, slow breath that echoed in the corridor around them. âOkay. One night.â

You believed in me first.
I didnât know when I sent in my chapters eight years ago that this was where it would lead.
Iâm so glad it did.
CHAPTER ONE
Once upon a time...
LET DOWN YOUR HAIR...
Charlotte Adairâs heart was pounding so hard she was sure the person next to her could hear it. And she was shaking. Shaking and fighting against the rising tide of emotions and memories that were threatening to compromise her ability to think straight.
Although, it could easily be argued that her being here at all was proving she lacked any ability to think with clarity.
She had escaped. For five years she had been free.
But there was unfinished business. Rafe.
He would always be unfinished business. There would be no fixing that. But she could see him. She could see him one more time.
