About the book
"Careless passion, pregnancy surprise... Sander Volakis goes his own way. He's forged his reputation in business, rather than relying on the family fortune, and indulges his darkly passionate, wild streak. He has no intention of marrying... He doesn't do country weekends, either. Pitching up at Westgrave Manor is a favor to his father and a bore... until he sees Tally Spencer, so pretty and voluptuous that he can't resist her. Sander's looking forward to casually seducing her, not knowing that one night with the innocent Tally could end his playboy existence... A marriage made of secrets..."--P. [4] of cover.
