Italian aristocrat and formula one champion, Alessandro Rinaldo has discovered he is a father. He is determined to learn why Katrina ran away two years ago without telling him she was pregnant, and bring her and his heir home to Italy.
Katrina Baxter’s husband refused to consider having a child, he’d even kept their marriage a secret from his family, so when she got pregnant, she panicked. A secret shame, because her biological father rejected her, made her believe that Alessandro would reject both her and their child. She didn’t want to have her baby alone, so she went home to Australia.
She is on the verge of returning as a principal dancer for the Australian Ballet Company. Alessandro has discovered his son and claims to want him.
Katrina refuses to upend her painstakingly reconstructed life because she doesn’t trust Alessandro not to break both their hearts. She doesn’t believe for a minute that he wants to be a father, he wants an heir to his empire. She’d never let a distant father raise her dear little boy as she had been.
