Maya Blake: One Night With Gael

Rules for dating Gael Aguilar

1. Six-week time limit

2. No second chances

When aspiring actress Goldie Beckett storms into Gael’s board meeting to return the ten thousand dollars he left on her nightstand, she’s sure she’s triggered rule 2. But in just a few short weeks, the shocking news of her pregnancy ensures that she’s definitely broken rule 1!

Born illegitimate and branded a mistake, Gael will never allow the same fate to befall his child. Obliterating all his own rules, Gael now must get Goldie to agree to the role of a lifetime as his wife!

‘Do you think a man in my position and with my power, having gone through what I went through as a child, will be willing to stand idly by while my child is shuffled between minders, aeroplanes, movie locations and court-ordered visiting rights?’

Goldie’s mouth trembled for a second before she caught hold of it. ‘Gael—’

He broke off mid-pace and planted himself firmly in front of her. He needed her to see the intent emblazoned in his heart and in his mind. ‘Let me answer for you, Goldie. The scenario you propose will happen over my dead body.’

‘You can’t just rule things out, Gael. We need to agree to a compromise.’

‘Why compromise when I have a solution?’ he asked.

Her smooth forehead clenched in a frown. ‘We confirmed the pregnancy less than ten minutes ago. How can you have a solution already?’

‘Very easily, when the situation is this important.’

She gave a slight shake of her head, but her gaze didn’t leave his. She blinked, her expression turning trepidatious. ‘No. I think we need to talk about this some more.’

‘I’m done talking, Goldie. The soundest solution to the situation we find ourselves is for you to marry me.’
