Crown Prince Alexander Thorne's honorable intentions were overturned when he rescued a red-haired siren from the sea and gave in to the chemistry raging between them. Alex had sworn he would never again be ruled by a woman, yet lovely Sophia Dunhill might be carrying his heir, and duty required she be kept very close at hand.Sophia valued her freedom and had no intention of remaining in Prince Alex's island kingdom for longer than it took to repair her boat–royal command or no. Despite his fiery kisses and their heated nights, Sophia wanted more. Could her love transform her duty-bound prince into a man ruled by his passions?

“Maybe you didn’t hear me a moment ago, but I won’t be commanded to do—”

“This isn’t about you.” A muscle twitched in his jaw, his eyes growing dark as eggplant. “You will not starve my child.”

Sophia’s body stiffened with shock, her mind reeling. Alex’s words, his command, cut her deep, deeper than she could have imagined. Just the thought of harming a child, her child, a child that might be growing inside of her at this very moment, brought tears to her eyes.

She blinked them back and took a calming breath. “I’ll be out in a minute.”

He nodded, a hint of warmth passing over his dark and very dangerous gaze. But it was gone quickly. And after a moment he took a step back and closed the bathroom door.

Holding two mugs of coffee, one black as mud, the other creamy and decaffeinated, Alex followed Sophia out onto the beach house’s sprawling deck. “What are you thinking so seriously about tonight?”

“My future.”

“And what do you see?”

She shrugged. “It’s very uncertain, isn’t it?”

“I suppose it is,” he said, sliding the mugs of steaming liquid onto the teak sombrero table.

All around them, the night sky gleamed clear, but for the brilliant clusters of stars winking down at them. A cool sea breeze blew across the beach, shifting specks of sand here and there.

Alex motioned for Sophia to take a seat at one of the rustic dining chairs, but she shook her head, then headed down the stairs. When she reached the bottom, she gave a weighty sigh and sat down on the last step, dug her toes in the sand.

“I’m not used to being on this side of the sand,” she said. “But it’s very beautiful.”

Alex watched her stare out at the ocean as it crashed against the shore in cloudy tufts, biting his tongue from telling her just what he found beautiful on this side of the sand.

Instead he followed her down the stairs. “Why have you been sailing the isles for four months, Sophia?”

“I don’t know if you’d understand the reason.”

“Why?”

She glanced over her shoulder, gave him a half-smile. “You seem too, well…practical.”

“You have the wrong perception of me,” he said, dropping down beside her on the step.

“Wacky, wild and crazy, are you, your highness?”

“I can be.” He glanced out toward the sand, the place where they’d made love not long ago. “Tell me about your journey,” he said, trying to shove away the surge of desire that was running through him at a hectic pace.

Her voice softened. “Well my parents died when I was young, and I didn’t think I had any family besides my horribly overbearing aunt. I was so afraid of her. She was so much like my parents. Too protective, too concerned, yet totally invulnerable.” She released a sigh. “But then I found out that I had a grandfather.”
