Andie Brock - The Shock Cassano Baby

Isobel swallowed.

‘And one more thing.’ He set his jaw determinedly. ‘We will need to get married.’

Orlando coldly watched the look of panic sweep over Isobel’s face, the irony of the situation striking him. Never had he expected his marriage proposal to be met with such a reaction. But then, never had he expected to make one. Life as a single man suited him just fine—he believed in working hard and taking his pleasures when and where he chose…usually in the form of a beautiful woman and always, always on his terms.

But circumstances had changed dramatically, the unimaginable had happened, and now he was going to make Isobel his wife—no matter how distasteful she might find it. Because no way was he going to have his child growing up illegitimate, as he had. No way was he going to follow the pattern of his father in any shape or form.

When one night…leads to pregnancy!

When succumbing to a night of unbridled desire it’s impossible to think past the morning after!

But, with the sheets barely settled, that little blue line appears on the pregnancy test and it doesn’t take long to realise that one night of white-hot passion has turned into a lifetime of consequences!

Only one question remains:

How do you tell a man you’ve just met that you’re about to share more than just his bed?

Introduction ‘I am going to be one hundred per cent committed to our child. Do I make myself clear?’ Isobel swallowed. ‘And one more thing.’ He set his jaw determinedly. ‘We will need to get married.’ Orlando coldly watched the look of panic sweep over Isobel’s face, the irony of the situation striking him. Never had he expected his marriage proposal to be met with such a reaction. But then, never had he expected to make one. Life as a single man suited him just fine—he believed in working hard and taking his pleasures when and where he chose…usually in the form of a beautiful woman and always, always on his terms. But circumstances had changed dramatically, the unimaginable had happened, and now he was going to make Isobel his wife—no matter how distasteful she might find it.

CHAPTER ONE

ISOBEL STARED AT the figures on the screen one last time. The initial stages of the business plan had been implemented successfully; target forecasts were all on course. Yes, she was confident that the board of Cassano Holdings would be satisfied with the progress she had made so far. More than satisfied, even.

After closing the lid of her laptop Isobel zipped it into its case. She was ready. She glanced at her watch. There was just one more thing she had to do before she could leave for the board meeting in the city.

Rising to her feet, she smoothed down the skirt of her navy business suit and crossed the few steps to the sofa to pick up her handbag. Her heart was thumping now, her hand shaky as she slid it inside to retrieve the small packet in its chemist’s bag.

Giving herself no more time to think she headed for the bathroom. There really was no going back.
