A Vow To Secure His Legacy

A Vow To Secure His Legacy
Annie West

‘Marry me. This week.’After losing her mother, Imogen Holgate believes she’s living on borrowed time with the same terminal illness. So the cautious accountant blows all her savings on a once-in-a-lifetime trip around the world and meets sexy Parisian Thierry Girard.But after two steamy weeks there are permanent consequences to their temporary affair…Now, with more than herself to think about, Imogen turns to Thierry for help – but the last thing she expects is for him to imprison her with a gold ring!ONE NIGHT WITH CONSEQUENCESWhen one night…leads to pregnancy!

Thierry put his glass down and leaned close. Too close. But she couldn’t seem to pull back. ‘There’s something I want you to do.’

‘There is?’ Imogen couldn’t imagine what. Unless, of course, it was a DNA test to prove paternity. She’d heard there were risks involved with those during pregnancy, but if it meant giving her child a secure future …

‘Yes.’ He paused so long that tension tightened the bare skin of her shoulders. ‘I want you to marry me.’

‘What did you say?’ Her voice was a croak from constricted muscles.

‘I want us to marry. This week.’

He looked so relaxed—as if he’d merely commented on the quality of the meal they’d shared, or on the beautiful old buildings floodlit along the banks of the Seine.

Her pulse fluttered like a mad thing. ‘You can’t be serious.’

‘Never more so.’

That was when she saw it: the glint of determination in those espresso-dark eyes.

When one night … leads to pregnancy!

When succumbing to a night of unbridled desire it’s impossible to think past the morning after!

But, with the sheets barely settled, that little blue line appears on the pregnancy test and it doesn’t take long to realise that one night of white-hot passion has turned into a lifetime of consequences!

Only one question remains:

How do you tell a man you’ve just met that you’re about to share more than just his bed?
