Harlequin Desire
His
proposition: pretend they’re a couple to end a scandal. But she has secrets of
her own…
Tatiana
Doucet has dealt with sexy, arrogant athletes most of her life. But Jean-Pierre
Reynaud is a whole different animal—in bed and on the field. Unbeknownst to
him, their one amazing night produced a son. Now her family’s biggest football rival is back, offering a seductive wager she can’t
refuse.
Jean-Pierre
despises the media. When rumors fly, he knows a fake relationship is the
perfect diversion for the tabloids—and Tatiana’s unbridled passion is the
perfect diversion for Jean-Pierre. But when she drops a baby bombshell, the
scandal will rock them both!
Son?
Jean-Pierre
had taken hits from the toughest, strongest, meanest players in the
NFL. Afterward, as he lay in the grass with his ears ringing and his
vision blurred, he would struggle to snap out of the slow-motion fog
that felt kind of like being underwater.
That
was exactly how he felt walking into Tatiana’s apartment, her words
slowly permeating his consciousness along with the cry of an infant.
Dazed, confused and trying to stand up straight despite the floor
shifting under his feet, Jean-Pierre stood in her foyer and waited
for her to return from wherever she’d disappeared.
“Mr.
Reynaud?” An older woman in a simple gray dress stepped into the
living area to his right. “Miss Doucet asked if you wouldn’t mind
joining her in the family room. It’s just past the staircase on the
left.” She pointed the way and then went about her business,
picking up a few things in the living room.
A
bright blue blanket. A baby bottle.
Seeing
that bottle was like the second hit when you were already down.
At
the same time, it was enough to make the mental fog evaporate and get
his feet moving.
Fast.
He
needed answers now. Hell, he needed answers months ago. Tatiana had
done a whole lot more than throw his career into a tailspin tonight
with her unguarded remark to a member of the press. She’d been
hiding the biggest possible secret that was going to bind their lives
together forever.
“Tatiana?”
Her name was a sharp bark on his lips as he entered the spacious
suite overlooking Central Park.
Framed
playbills lined the walls along with photos of Tatiana and her
family. Tatiana with her father at her graduation from Columbia. The
Doucets outside of a downtown skyscraper with the brass name plaque
of her prestigious law firm. Every picture was a reminder of the life
he might have had with her if her family hadn’t turned her against
him.
A
blaze crackled in a fireplace on the far side of the living area. And
beside it, in that warm glow of flickering light, he spotted her on
the dark leather love seat, cradling a tiny bundle of blankets to her
breast. Tatiana’s dark brown curls shielded her body as much as the
blanket, the firelight making the skin of one shoulder glow where
she’d unfastened her dress to feed the baby.
Her
baby.
His…son.
Something
shifted inside Jean-Pierre, his whole world tipping on its axis as
everything changed irreversibly.
