A Night Of Royal Consequences. Susan Stephens

      

      Claiming his one-night baby

      Callie Smith gave up everything to care for her alcoholic father. After his death, she’s finally able to follow her own dreams. And what better way to celebrate than by spending an out-of-character—but outrageously sinful—night with gorgeous Italian prince Luca Fabrizio?

      To preserve his family dynasty, Luca was planning to marry a convenient bride—until Callie reveals the consequences of their heated encounter! Having just taken back her freedom, Callie refuses to wear his ring. To legitimize his heir, Luca must persuade her that life in his royal bed will be more pleasurable than she can possibly imagine!

      ‘You’re beautiful,’ Luca murmured, reassuring and disarming Callie all in one breath.

      ‘No, I’m not.’

      ‘I guess there’s only one way to convince you,’ he said, laughing softly.

      He drew her closer, inch by inch, and then he kissed her. And this was not a teasing brush of his lips, but something more that drew emotion out of her until she was happy and sad, excited and confused, all at once. She was happy to be here with him, and sad because she knew it couldn’t last. He excited her. Her body was going crazy for more—which he knew. And she was apprehensive too, in case she got this terribly wrong. There were so many ways she could get this wrong.

      ‘Stop,’ Luca murmured against her mouth. ‘Stop thinking and just allow yourself to feel, for once. Go with your instincts, Callie.’

      Her instincts were telling her that she wanted this badly. Even more than that, she wanted the connection between them to last. But she had to face facts. Luca was an itinerant worker, as was she, and they’d both move on.

      He kissed away her doubts as he lowered her slowly to the ground…

       One Night With Consequences

      When one night…leads to pregnancy!

      When succumbing to a night of unbridled desire

      it’s impossible to think past the morning after!

      But, with the sheets barely settled,

      that little blue line appears on the pregnancy test and it

      doesn’t 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 you’ve just met

      that you’re about to share more than just his bed?
