Indulge in this spicy forbidden, accidental pregnancy, stepbrother billionaire romance from Jackie Ashenden, previously published as Stolen for My Spanish Scandal!

A night that never should have happened…
A need that can never be denied…


My stepbrother Constantine Silvera was always my rock, until the day he ruthlessly cut me off. When we collided again, an entirely forbidden yet unforgettable raw passion detonated between us…leaving me pregnant!

I'm certain Con can never love me, and I am determined to raise our baby alone. But the billionaire has different ideas. Because here I am, unceremoniously kidnapped and stranded in his imposingly grand and beautiful manor house. And now I know that I’ll never stop craving his electrifying touch. So, if Con is going to demand his child, I’m going to demand he let me in…

From Harlequin Presents: Escape to exotic locations where passion knows no bounds.

Jackie Ashenden

Jackie writes dark, emotional stories with alpha heroes who've just got the world to their liking only to have it blown wide apart by their kick-ass heroines.

She lives in Auckland, New Zealand with her husband and two kids. When she's not torturing alpha males and their gutsy heroines, she can be found drinking chocolate martinis, reading anything she can lay her hands on, wasting time on social media, or being forced to go mountain biking with her husband.
