He won’t be denied his heir!
Buttoned-up PA Cecelia Andrews’s resignation released her secret raw desire for her demanding playboy boss, Luka Kargas. One year after his callous dismissal, Cecelia’s hiding an even greater secret—their daughter! She’ll never let coldhearted Luka make her daughter feel unwanted. But when Luka uncovers her deceit, there’s no escaping the consequences of her passionate surrender...
For my great friend Frances Housden
An inspiring woman and wonderful writer.
Love always

She had read about him, thoroughly researched him, and even been told by his current PA during two prolonged interviews about his bad-boy ways.
