With a soft sigh Grace opened her eyes, the sight of Javier’s face so close to hers making her heart leap, as it had done every morning for the past two months.Two months—the time she’d spent at El Castillo de Leon—had passed so quickly, but rather than hoping that the next ten months went as swi...
Her hair was hanging in wet coils and her skin was covered in goose-bumps but she reassured herself that her nipples had hardened into tight, tingling peaks because she was cold, not because of her overwhelming awareness of the sexiest man she had ever met. She gritted her teeth to prevent them f...
Cesario wondered savagely. What did this unknown woman who kept her face hidden beneath the hood of her coat mean?‘Explain yourself,’ he ordered. ‘I do not have a child.’ The words scraped a raw wound inside him.‘Sophie is your baby. She was conceived on this night a year ago.’With an impatient o...
Dante slid onto the back seat and held out his hand to assist Rebekah. No doubt his sophisticated mistresses were experts at climbing elegantly into cars, she thought ruefully, but her high heels somehow got tangled in her long skirt so that she tripped and landed practically in his lap. ‘Steady,...
A heat haze shimmered above the steps leading to the entrance of Kalakos Shipping, and the glare from the sun seemed to set the office block’s bronzetinted glass windows aflame. The automatic doors parted smoothly as Louise approached them. Inside, the décor was minimalist chic, and the air-condi...
‘You were admitted overnight as a precaution. If your vision becomes blurred, or you start vomiting, you must return to hospital, but you were only unconscious for a few minutes and there should not be any lasting damage.’ Isobel nodded and winced as the slight movement hurt like mad. She wondere...
Cautiously Jess turned her head and met Drago’s tense gaze. ‘Lie still. The doctor is on his way.’ She immediately jerked upright—and gagged as a wave of nausea swept over her. ‘Dio! Do you ever do as you are told?’ Concern overrode the impatience in his voice as he eased her back down onto the p...
As always, he was instantly alert, and turned his head to find Erin curled up next to him, her glorious hair spread like a fiery halo about her head.Last night when he had joined her in bed, long after she had fallen asleep, he had been struck by how young she looked—and how innocent. Her pillow ...
It had begun with the shadowy figure of a man—a strong, powerful man—who held her in his muscular arms. She felt safe with the man, even though she did not know him. His face was hidden from her but he seemed familiar, and his musky, masculine scent was intoxicating, arousing an ache inside her t...
But Sabrina still felt blazingly angry at how badly he had misjudged her at the time of the miscarriage. When she was eighteen she had put Cruz on a pedestal and thought he could do no wrong. But now she was older and wiser and she knew he was a mortal man with strengths but also weaknesses. &nbs...
Picturesque it might be, but it was no fun driving on slippery roads, Emma thought grimly as she slowed the car to a crawl to negotiate a sharp bend. With the onset of dusk the temperature had plummeted to well below freezing, and most of the minor country lanes had not been gritted, making journ...
‘It seems wrong to pretend that I belong to the Holy Order of the Sacred Heart. I feel like I am an imposter.’ ‘My child, I strongly advise that for your safety you should dress as a nun. Torrente is one of the most dangerous places in Brazil. Its close proximity to the border with Colombia has m...
She couldn’t understand why she felt deflated. A reprieve from his threatened talk could only be a good thing. But as she filled the sink with water to begin the washing-up he strolled into the kitchen, still bare-chested, and carrying a holdall that she guessed he had collected from his car. Hea...
