Harlequin Desire
A princess and a Southern billionaire are expecting
twins! Only from USA TODAY bestselling author Catherine Mann!
His focus is on his family's football dynasty. Louisiana
billionaire Gervais Reynaud has no time for romance. But he can't say no to a
tryst with Erika Mitras. True, she's a princess, but in no way prim…or proper.
Their time together is unbelievable…and all too short.
When Erika said goodbye, she meant it. But now she must
tell Gervais the truth. He's about to be a father…to royal twins. After leaving
her overbearing family, Erika wants nothing from Gervais. But the tempting
tycoon just may charm her into a future she desires all too much.
His dark eyes heated her with memories as
he strode toward her. His long legs ate the ground in giant slices, his khakis
and sports jacket declaring him in the middle of a work day. He stopped in
front of her, his broad shoulders blocking the sun and casting his handsome
face in shadows. But she didn’t have to see to know his jaw would be peppered
with the stubble that seemed to grow in seconds after he shaved. Her fingers –
her body – remembered the texture of that rasp well.
Her breath caught somewhere in her chest.
He
folded his arms over his chest, just under the Hurricanes logo stitched on the
front of his jacket. “Welcome to the States, Erika. No one mentioned your
intention to visit. I thought you don’t like sports.”
“And
yet, here I am.” And in need of privacy out of the bright Louisiana sun and the
even brighter curious eyes of his team and staff. She needed space and courage
to tell him why she’d made this unexpected journey across the Atlantic to this
muggy bayou state. “This is not an official royal visit.”
“And
you’re not in uniform.” His eyes glided over her wrap around dress.
“I’m
out of the service now.” About to return to school to be a nurse, the career
field she’d hoped to pursue in the military but they would not allow her such
an in-the-field position, instead preferring to dress her up and trot her
around as a figure-head translator. “I am here for a conference on homeopathic
herbs and scents.” A part of her passion in the nursing field, and a totally
made up excuse for being here today.
“Are
you here to share specially scented deodorant to my players? Because they could
certainly use it.” His mouth tipped with a smile.
“Are
you interested in such a line?” Still jet-lagged from the transatlantic flight,
she was ill-prepared to exchange pleasantries.
“Is
that why you are here? For business?”
She
could not just banter with him. She simply could not. “Please, can we go
somewhere private to talk?”
He
searched her eyes with for a long moment before gesturing over his shoulder.
“I’m in the middle of a meeting with sponsors. How about supper?”
“I
am not here for seduction,” she stated bluntly.
“Okay.”
His eye brows shot upward. “I thought I asked you to join me for gumbo, not
sex. But now that we’re talking about sex--”
“We
are not.” She cut him short. “Finish your meeting if you must, but I need to
speak with you as soon as possible. Privately. Unless you want your personal
business and mine overheard by all of your team straining to listen.”
She
definitely was not ready for them to hear she was pregnant with the heir to the
Reynaud family dynasty.
