Bartered to the Sheikh & Rakanti's Indecent Proposition (Clare Connelly Pairs Book 8)
Page 36
His head dropped a little lower, his eyes scanning hers. “You will know that when I smile, it means nothing. That my anger and hatred for your decisions are still inside of me, weighing down on me with the pressure of every single day of Jack’s life I have missed.”
Tears filled her eyes once more.
“You will know, when we look at Jack and laugh, almost like real parents, that it’s a lie.”
Her lips parted on a gasp, or perhaps the start of a plea, a desire to make him stop talking like this. “And you will know that if I kiss you, Elodie, it is because of the same chemistry that drove us together that night, and nothing more. You will know that I will never like you as a person, that I will never forgive you for your decisions.” He stared at her for several long, anguished seconds. "I will never forgive you."
One wild night, with secret consequences...
It was a mistake. The sexiest night of her life, but still, a mistake. What else could it be? Billionaire Fiero Montebello wasn't the kind of man Elodie would ever get involved with. He was so completely off-limits. Except she had got involved with him. She fell for him, hook, line and sinker, and now she's a single mum, raising a little boy all on her own. A little boy with the same eyes and dimples as his father, a little boy who's a daily reminder of that one time she lost her mind and surrendered to sensual pleasure...
The call shocks him. A woman he slept with - once - and hasn't been able to forget, is in hospital and he's the 'emergency' contact. It doesn't make any sense, until the nurse presents the little boy he never knew he had. Fiero Montebello has been down the marriage and baby path before - with disastrous consequences - but now he's a father and there's no way he's not raising his son himself!
Even if that means bringing his son's mother home, too...
BOOK ONE in the seven-part series, THE MONTEBELLOS. Fall in love with these sexy, super-rich Italians. Not for the faint of heart!
Fiero Montebello is a serious alpha hero... with a heart of gold, of course! He's a guy who knows exactly what he wants and will stop at nothing to achieve it. REGRET ME NOT is a super-sexy, second-chance, secret-baby book with characters you'll fall in love with, heart-racing love scenes and one or two swears. You have been warned!
