Thierry put his glass down and leaned close. Too close. But she couldn’t seem to pull back. ‘There’s something I want you to do.’

‘What did you say?’ Her voice was a croak from constricted muscles.
‘I want us to marry. This week.’

Her pulse fluttered like a mad thing. ‘You can’t be serious.’
‘Never more so.’
That was when she saw it: the glint of determination in those espresso-dark eyes.
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!

‘IMOGEN! WHAT A lovely surprise.’ The receptionist looked up from her desk. ‘I didn’t expect to see you again.’ She paused, her smile fading. ‘I was so sorry to hear about your mother.’
