      Dear Reader,

      Henri is the oldest of the Sauveterre Twins. After his sister was kidnapped he decided never to marry and have children, fearing they would become targets. He doesn’t resent being a twin, but he knows who he is beyond that label. He’s very singular…likes control and routine. Life is unpredictable enough without improvising your way through it…that’s his attitude.

      Cinnia is also very practical, and independent to a fault. As far as mistresses go, she was the perfect match for Henri, demanding little from him. That was why he was so blindsided when she left him.

      I adore it when this happens to our alpha males—when they are über-confident and think they have their lives well in hand and then…wham! The heroine straightens her spine and slams the door behind her.

      Cinnia is pregnant, and she knows exactly how Henri will react. Badly! If they can make the jump from defensive and aloof to realizing they are perfect for one another, they have a chance at real happiness. I’ll let you turn the page and discover for yourself how they make out.

      Enjoy!

       Dani

       PROLOGUE

      AS SHE ENTERED the clinic from the stairwell, Cinnia Whitley almost knocked the door into a woman standing inside. Cinnia murmured a distracted apology, thinking she might have seen her before, but not here. She would remember someone so tall and stiff and alert standing in that particular place.

      Wait. Was she a guard? It was an odd place to hover. Maybe that’s why she seemed so familiar. After spending two years with sober-faced watchmen dogging her movements, perhaps it wasn’t the face she recognized so much as the attitude.

      Because, if the woman was merely a relative waiting on a patient, there was a very comfortable lounge at the front of the clinic. The back entrance was for people like Cinnia, the paranoid ones who crept in through the building’s underground car park in hopes of keeping her visit to this prenatal specialist strictly confidential.

      Cinnia didn’t bother speculating who the celebrity patient could be. She had bigger fish to fry. She was here for a scan to confirm suspicions on why she was expanding so quickly.

      No, she kept thinking, absolutely refusing to entertain the most likely reason. She had a lot of work to get through in the next twenty-two weeks and had struggled to find time for another morning off for this test. If the doctor’s suspicions were correct, her entire future would have to be recalibrated.

      Twins? Really? No. Multiple births weren’t even hereditary when they were identical and she thought only mothers passed along the fraternal trait. A father with an identical brother and two younger, identical twin sisters couldn’t pass that to his offspring.

      Could he?

      Henri did whatever he wanted. She knew that much.

      She did not miss that arrogance, or him, or the life he led with guards like that one dogging
