For
Jane Whitmore, agreeing to switch identities with her best friend seems like
innocent fun, but spending a romantic night in Paris with a man who doesn't
know her real name turns out to be a lark gone bad. When their one night of
passion proves to have lasting results, tracking down Gabe Sutton and telling
him he’s about to be the father of her child is just another calamity Jane
would rather avoid. After years of avoiding long-term romantic entanglements, Gabe
has found a woman he might just be able to build a life with, only to have her
disappear. When he finally finds her, his belief in happily-ever-after staggers
under the weight of deception, and looming fatherhood leaves him with two
choices: fight her for custody of his future child or cling to the promise of
true love.
Excerpt:
“Michael said you were lovely. He didn’t do you justice.”
Chaos erupted in
her belly as if thousands of butterflies had suddenly taken flight. Setting
down her glass, she dismissed the manic fluttering and dragged in a calming
breath. The dark-haired devil sitting across from her with intent green eyes
and a come-to-me-baby drawl would fluster any woman with a pulse, even one with
a natural cynicism for situations like this. She might be a round plug in a
family of square holes, but she’d been raised in the world of corporate finance
and recognized his words for what they were. Gabe Sutton thought he was
flattering the daughter of a very powerful business associate. As the only daughter
of Thomas Whitmore, CEO of Whitmore Financial Industries, Jane had been on the
receiving end of similar praises over the years…for exactly the same purpose.
A wry smile
curved her lips. “That’s kind of you, but, about…my father. I’m sorry he roped you
into including me tonight. He means well, but he can be pushy.”
A trace of humor
flashed in his eyes. “He isn’t exactly subtle, is he?”
“No, he isn’t.”
She shrugged. “We’ve met, which is what he was after. Once he learns his plan
didn’t work out, he’ll move on to the next…candidate.”
He sprawled back
and his thickly lashed eyes narrowed as they roamed her face. “Candidate? This
isn’t the first time your father has set you up like this, I take it?”
