How far would you go for love?
Tess Foster, a romantic, kind-hearted orphan, has dreamed of falling in love all her life. When a handsome Sicilian stranger seduces her one magical night she thinks her dream has come true. Instead she wakes up alone, pregnant and abandoned.
But still Tess has faith. Until—a year later—she finally learns the heartbreaking reason why Prince Stefano never returned: because he didn’t love her.
How can she tell him about their baby? Will her heart be permanently broken? Or will her faith in love be rewarded?
This is the second book in my trilogy about three single mothers who are all very different but have one thing in common: they’ve never told the powerful billionaire fathers about their babies. Hallie’s story was The Secret the Italian Claims, and the trilogy will finish with Lola’s story in November, The Baby the Billionaire Demands.
I loved writing these stories about three vibrant, different women and the powerful, untameable men who finally meet their match. I hope you love them too.
With warmest wishes,
Jennie
