From the back cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #937, January 2010, UK Edition:
From passion...to penniless and pregnant!
French Count Jean-Luc Toussaint had never seen such a beauty! Under the glare of the spotlight, the spirited performance of the waif-like pianist mesmerised him. He wanted to taste that passion for himself!
Swept off her feet by the Count, Abigail Summers naïvely thought she’d be forever wined and dined at his château. Instead, the unassuming starlet found herself penniless, pregnant…and waiting with bated breath for the brooding Frenchman to read the tabloid headlines and come thundering back to take what was his…
Excerpt
From the inside cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #937, January 2010, UK Edition:
Luc scanned the headlines and bylines witha distracted air, unable to voice even to himself what--who--he was looking for.
Then he saw it.
'Piano Prodigy...pregnant?'
The photo was a blurry shot of Abby walking down a street in London. The newspaper had helpfully added a red circle to highlight the slight swell of her middle.
It only took up to a few inches of space on the third page of the arts section. Abby, Luc realized, was hardly news anymore.
Yet she was, it seemed, pregnant. And he knew without even a flicker of doubt that if their was indeed a baby then it was his.
He pushed the paper away, unfocused, unseeing, his mind spinning with thoughts he could barely articulate. The coffee at his elbow grew cold and the sun rose in the sky, casting longer and longer shadows on the floor.
Finally, as if shaking himself from a dream, Luc rose. He reached for his cellphone, flicking it open and punching buttons. When his assistant answered, he spoke tersely. 'I need the jet. This morning.'
Luc snapped his cell shut and gazed out at the River Seine winding through the city, at the cherry trees just beginning to blossom. Then, turning away from the charming sight, he prepared to pack for his trip to England...to find Abby.
