Synopsis

When opposites attract! 

Damaso Pires should have known better than to get involved with Marisa—the scandalous princess of Bengaria! Yet soon he sees her true beauty and flawless virtue, which touches a place in him he thought ruthlessly destroyed by his childhood on the streets of Brazil. 

But their brief affair becomes permanent when Marisa reveals she's pregnant. 

Damaso knows the sting of illegitimacy and, having fought tooth and nail to claw his way up to the dizzying heights of international success and financial infamy, he won't let his child slip from his grasp. There's only one way to claim his heir, and that's marriage!

About this title

From the Inside Flap

Marisa squeezed her eyes shut, trying to gather her strength. She'd face him later if she had to. Now she needed to be alone.
    "I didn't think anything, Damaso." She lingered over his name with dripping saccharine emphasis. "What we shared is over and done with."
    Her fingers closed around the door handle, but before she could tug it open, a large hand slammed palm-down onto the door before her, keeping it forcibly closed. The heat of Damaso's body encompassed her, his breath riffling her hair as if he was breathing as hard as she.
    "What about the fact you're carrying my child?"
    She gasped. How did he know?
    Marisa stared blankly at the strong, sinewy hand before her. She blinked, remembering how that hand had looked on her skin, the pleasure it had wrought. How she'd actually hoped, for a few brief hours, she'd found a man who valued her for herself. How betrayed she'd felt.
    "Marisa?" His voice was sharp.
    She drew a jagged breath into tight lungs and turned, chin automatically lifting as he glowered down at her from his superior height.
    The sight of him, looking so lofty and disapproving, stoked the fire in her belly. She'd deal with him, but on her terms, when she was ready.
