Little Secrets: His Pregnant Secretary. Joanne Rock

      

      The boss’s baby bargain...

      Becoming a father was never part of Jager McNeill’s plan, until the heat between him and his luscious assistant turned into searing passion. Now Delia Rickard is carrying his baby. After growing up without a father, Jager’s determined to be there for his child. And marriage would ensure that. But despite their chemistry, Delia’s unwilling to marry for anything less than love.

      A trip with Jager to Manhattan could change all that. For in this enchanting city ablaze with Christmas lights, romance begins to blossom. And a kiss under the mistletoe just might turn into lasting love.

      “Something happened in the water today. Something changed between us.”

      No, Delia wanted to protest. Yet Jager was right and they both knew it.

      “We can’t let that happen.” She needed to maintain the balance of power. Rebuild some guise of professionalism before it was too late. “This job is too important to me.”

      “And your professional skills are valuable to me, as well. But we can work around that. Besides, do you really believe ignoring it will make it go away, Delia?”

      “If we both make an effort, yes. Of course. We’re both adults with professional agendas. We can keep those work goals front and center when we’re together.”

      “Like we did today.”

      “Today was an aberration.” It had to be. “Emotions ran high. We were both scared for Emily.” She wanted it to be as simple as that. “Just an adrenaline moment.”

      “So what about this moment, right now?” he asked. “Adrenaline?”

      She willed a logical answer to explain the way the air simmered all around them.

      Any answer she might have given was a moot point, however, since Jager chose that moment to lower his lips to hers.

      Delia mentally gave herself a pep talk as she rushed around the marina in Le François,
