Excerpt

From the inside cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #1072, May 2011, UK Edition:

"Now it is a joyful occasion. My wife and son return home with me. Everything is good. Everything is as it should be."

His wife and son...

His wife.

Jill's heart hammered relentlessly and her hand shook as she clutched the flute. Was this why he'd ordered the champagne? "So that is the story we're to tell them?"

"It won't be a story. My family has a disreputable history—a history you've thrown in my face. But my father has worked hard to change the past, and I've continued his fight. We've worked too hard, sacrificed too much, to have Joseph inherit scorn or scandal. No one is to know he was born out of wedlock," Vittorio continued quietly. "He is not to grow up marked by shame."

"The ceremony will take place in the next half-hour, before the baby wakes," he said, looking down at her. "Find something appropriate in your suitcase for the ceremony—something elegant and festive. After all, we'll want good memories to help us remember our special day."
