How could she be? Rayne asked herself over and over, as she had been doing since it had been confirmed over a week ago now. She had been taking the Pill. A low dosage one, it was true.

But Nature, it seemed, was mocking her in its triumph over seeing her impregnated with King Clayborne’s seed. Against all the odds. Against their best intentions. And against—she was certain where King was concerned, anyway—his strongest wishes. She was only relieved that he wasn’t around to find out. Queasily, she wheeled her supermarket trolley to the checkout and started unloading its contents. It had been over ten weeks since she had left the Monaco mansion, fleeing in a cab—doing as King had done and ignoring the paparazzi—intent only on getting the first flight home.
