A Passionate Surrender

By Helen Bianchin

From a USA Today–bestselling author, a woman married for convenience leaves her billionaire husband, only to have him pursue her and her secret child.

Ana had secretly hoped her marriage in name only to Luc Dimitriades would turn into the real thing, yet one year after exchanging their vows he still seemed susceptible to the charms of his ex-mistress. Holding her head high, Ana knew she had to leave.

Luc wasn’t prepared to let his wife go. In fact, he seemed determined to blackmail her back into his bed! Ana fought to resist his passionate persuasion, but Luc held one last trump card: he knew she was carrying his child. . . .
