Book Description

Blurb

From the back cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #1063, April 2011, UK Edition:

Bedroom bargain…baby deal…

Cesario di Silvestri isn’t just fast with women, he’s supersonic. After mere minutes spent in his charismatic presence, many of Europe’s most glamorous women tumble into his bed…

With the exception of one – shy vet Jessica Martin, who refuses to become his weekend plaything. But when Jess’s feckless relatives steal from Halston Hall, Cesario’s country retreat, he has all the ammunition he needs! For now he’ll enjoy her creamy-skinned beauty, but in the future he’ll need an heir…

SECRETLY PREGNANT
With this ring, I claim my baby!

Excerpt

From the inside cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #1063, April 2011, UK Edition:

'All right, tell me. How could I help you?'

'I would like to have a child, but not in the conventional way,' Cesario explained wryly, his lean aquiline profile taut as she gazed back at him, fine brows rising in surprise. 'I've never been convinced that I can meet one woman and spend the rest of my life with her. On the other hand I believe I could handle a marriage that had a more practical foundation.'

Jess was now frowning more than ever as she struggled to follow what he was telling her. 'How can a marriage be practical?' she asked him uncertainly, convinced that in some way she had misunderstood, because she found it hard to believe that he could possibly be discussing the subject of marriage with her.

'When it's a straightforward contract, freed from flowery ideals and expectations like love, romance and permanence,' Cesario outlined with unconcealed enthusiasm. 'If you will agree to have a child with me I will marry you, give you your freedom back within a couple of years, and ensure that you need never worry about money again.'
