The Illegitimate Prince's Baby

By MICHELLE CELMER

Prince Ethan would never have slept with a palace employee... normally. Then plain–Jane Elizabeth Pryce appeared at the royal ball, unrecognizably gorgeous – and too desirable to ignore. When he finally discovered her true identity, he also learned she was carrying his child. A royal courtship would defuse the scandal. But would a marriage inflame the passion that still burned between them?
