      An illicit encounter with the Spaniard...

      Heiress Elin Saunderson is instantly seduced by mysterious stranger Cortez. But after their sinful night together she’s left alone...and pregnant! A year later, she learns that Cortez is the rightful successor to her adoptive father’s fortune, and penniless Elin finds herself at risk of losing everything—including her son!

      Cortez Ramos is set on claiming the secret Elin kept from him—but Elin proves as protective a mother as she is a torturous temptation. His solution: demand a marriage of convenience, which will legitimize his heir and return Elin to his bed!

      ‘Ralph stated in his will that he wished for you to marry and provide your son with a father. Are you in contact with your child’s father, and do you intend to marry him in order to claim your inheritance?’

      Cortez did not know why he had asked her when he really wasn’t interested in Elin’s private life. But he stared at her because he couldn’t help himself, and waited tensely for her answer.

      He realised he was bracing himself for her to reply, but when she did he was unprepared for the shock wave that ripped through him.

      ‘You are my son’s father,’ she said, in the soft voice that had haunted him for the past year.
