The day I found out I was pregnant, Cillian Rhodes confessed. "I cheated. The other woman is the hotel manager you hired." "Youth is a weapon, isn't it? She's wild, a real thrill." "She's not like you—not a Principessa bound by codes and etiquette. It’s a refreshing change of pace." I stood frozen, the ultrasound photo clutched in my hand.

"It's normal for a man to seek a little excitement on the side." Suddenly, I laughed. Did Cillian Rhodes really think that marrying me made him one of the family? But now… I had the Valeriano heir. Which meant the family business would pass to me—and my child. And the father? Who he was hardly mattered.
