Indulge in this surprise pregnancy, opposites attract, workplace romance by USA TODAY bestselling author Carol Marinelli

From nights with the boss…
to needing maternity leave!

Ambitious Emma Stephenson makes the big city leap, trying to outrun the rejection and lack of support she’s drowning in. Becoming CEO Luca D’Amato’s PA, she’s startled by her biggest challenge – remain unmoved by his playboy charms! Her steadfastness is torturously tested when whisked to Italy to play his fake fiancé. If she thought sharing an office was agony, sharing a bed completely overpowers her last line of defence…

Breaking through alluring Emma’s no-nonsense attitude was Luca’s favourite new game. But those nights in Italy intoxicated the billionaire beyond what he thought possible. He knows nothing permanent can come from this, he swore the D’Amato bloodline, and its streak of evil would end with him. Until Emma’s stood before him, struggling to tell him… she’s pregnant!

Perfect for fans of:
  • Spice!
