Excerpt
From the inside cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #, November 2009, UK Edition:
Phoebe's eyes widened in shock; she still couldn't see Leo's face, but she could feel the pain emanating from him in sorrowful waves. 'Leo, I'm sorry.'
He turned his head, met her gaze. 'I couldn't let the same happen to you,' he continued, and Phoebe saw the honesty in his eyes. 'Even though I was tempted.'
'Tempted...?'
'You were an inconvenience, remember?' Leo gave her the ghost of a smile. 'At least I thought of you as one until I saw you again.'
Her heart bumped painfully against her ribs. She wanted to ask Leo what he meant, wanted to hope-- needed to. But the future--her son's future--was too overwhelming.
'So what can I do?' she whispered. 'We can't--I can't--' She took a breath and started again, in a stronger voice. 'I won't be bought, and I won't leave my son.'
'I know.' Leo smiled, his mouth curling upwards in a way that made Phoebe's insides tingle with awareness. 'I have another solution.'
He paused, and in that second's silence Phoebe felt as if the room became hushed in expectation--as if everything had led to this moment, this question, this possibility. As if she already knew.
Leo took a step towards her, his hand outstreched. 'Phoebe,' he said, 'you can become my wife.'
