The Italian's Christmas Child. Lynne Graham

      

      A Christmas consequence

      Italian tycoon Vito Zaffari is waiting out the festive season while a family scandal fades from the press. So he’s come to his friend’s snow-covered English country cottage, determined to shut out the world.

      Until a beautiful bombshell dressed as Santa literally crashes into his Christmas! Innocent Holly Cleaver sneaks under Vito’s defenses—he wants her like no other before and decides he must have her.

      When Vito finds her gone the next day, he’s sure she’ll be easy to forget...until he discovers that their one night of passion has a shocking Christmas consequence!

      Vito was asking Holly to marry him...He was actually asking her to marry him! How was she supposed to react to that when she had been astonished by his proposal?

      ‘You should also consider the reality that eventually our son will be very rich, and growing up outside my world isn’t the best preparation for that day,’ Vito pointed out. ‘I want to be his father. A father who is there for Angelo when he needs me. A benefit neither you nor I enjoyed.’

      He was making very valid points but Holly felt harassed and intimidated rather than grateful for his honesty. ‘But marriage?’ she reasoned. ‘That’s such a huge decision.’

      ‘And a decision only you can make. But there would be other benefits for you,’ Vito told her quietly. ‘You could set up as an interior designer and live your dream with me—’

      ‘You’re starting to sound like a trained negotiator,’ Holly cut in.

      ‘I am a trained negotiator,’ Vito conceded. ‘But I want to give our son the very best start in life he can have—with a genuine family.’

      And that was the real moment that Holly veered from consternation and fell deep into his honey trap.
