AUTHOR_DANNYHello! This is a spin off of the first book. The characters remain the same but a different storyline. I am merging them together because both books are too short to stand alone. Thank you for reading. Please take both books as two separate books. Enjoy.

She shivered at the sound of her name on his lips. It didn’t seem right that he could be here, in her family’s living room, surrounded by friends and family eating potluck.At thirty-eight, Xavier Regulus owned a vast international conglomerate that bought and shipped steel and timber across the world. His life was filled with one passionate, single-minded pursuit after another. Business. Adrenaline-tinged sports. Beautiful women. Sylvia’s lips turned downward. Beautiful women most of all.So what was he doing here? What could he possibly have come for unless…unless…Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her mother disappearing down the hall with her baby.Trying to stop her hands from shaking, Sylvia folded her arms around the waist of her hand-sewn bridesmaid’s dress. So Xavier had come to Greenhill Farm. It didn’t exactly require a crack team unit to find her here. Brownes had lived here for two hundred years. It didn’t mean he knew about Robby. It didn’t. He couldn’t.Could he?Xav

He looked around the room again, at the paper plates with the potluck dinner, at her homemade gown, clearly not believing her. He set his jaw. ‘I’m just surprised your father couldn’t do better for Becky. Even if money is tight.’Sylvia folded her arms, feeling ice in her heart. ‘He couldn’t,’ she whispered. ‘My father died four months ago.’She heard Xavier’s intake of breath. ‘What?’‘He had a heart attack during harvest. We didn’t find him on his tractor until later. When he didn’t come home for dinner.’‘Oh, Sylvia.’ Xavier took her hand in his own. ‘I’m sorry.’She felt his sympathy, felt his concern. And she felt the rough warmth of his palm against her own—the touch she’d craved for the past year and all the five years before. Her fingers curled over his as longing blistered her soul.With an intake of breath she ripped her hand away.‘Thank you,’ she said, blinking back tears. She’d thought she was done grieving for her father, but she’d spent most of the day with a lump in he

His dark eyes glittered in the flickering firelight. ‘Every other woman has been a pale shadow of you in every way.’If her heart had been fluttering before, now it was frantically rattling against her ribs. Had she been wrong to leave him, fifteen months ago? Had she been wrong to keep Robby a secret? What if Xavier’s feelings had changed, and all this time he’d cared for her? What if—He leaned forward as his lips curved into a smile. ‘I need you to come work for me.’Sylvia’s heart stopped, then resumed a slow, sickly beat.Of course. Of course that was all he would want. He’d likely forgotten their one-night affair long ago, while she would remember it forever—in her passionate dreams, in the eyes of their son. Sylvia stared up at Xavier’s dark, brutally handsome face. She saw the tension of his jawline, the taut muscles of his folded arms beneath his suit jacket.‘You must want it badly,’ she said slowly.He gave her a tight smile. ‘I do.’Out of the corner of her eye, she saw he

Adriana da Costa.Sylvia could still see those cold, reptilian eyes, that skinny, lanky body. Xavier had dated the Brazilian supermodel briefly in New York several years ago, while Sylvia was his live-in personal assistant. She could still hear Adriana’s pouting voice. Why do you keep calling here? Stop calling.Find the whiskey, you stupid cow. Xavier always gets thirsty after sex.Sylvia cleared her throat. ‘Adriana da Costa, the bikini model.’‘Yes.’‘The one Celebrity Star magazine just called the sexiest woman alive.’‘She’s a selfish narcissist,’ he said sharply. ‘And for the short time we were together, she was always insecure. Only one woman has ever made her feel so threatened. You.’‘Me?’ Sylvia gasped. ‘You’re out of your mind! She would never feel threatened by me!’Xavier’s dark eyes gleamed. ‘She complained to me constantly. Why did I always take your calls, but not hers? Why did I always have time for you, day or night? Why would I leave her bed at 2:00 A.M. in order to

As her mother turned to place Robby into her arms, Sylvia’s heart fell to the snowy, frozen ground. The six-month-old’s whine faded, turning to hiccups as he clung to Sylvia. Ruth leaned forward to hug her.‘Take the job,’ her mother whispered in her ear, then turned to Xavier and said brightly, ‘I hope to see you again soon, Mr. Regulus!’Sylvia heard the dull thunk of the door as her mother went back inside. Then she was alone with Xavier; their baby in her arms.Xavier’s dark eyes went to the child, then back to her. The sound of his tightly coiled voice reverberated in the cold air. ‘This is your son?’She held her baby close, loving the solid, chubby feel of him in her arms. Tears stung her eyes as she looked down at Robby. ‘Yes.’‘How old is he?’‘Six months,’ she said in a small voice.Xavier’s eyes narrowed. ‘So tell me.’ His voice was deadly and still as a winter’s night. ‘Who is the father of your baby?’She’d wished so many times to be able to tell Xavier the truth, dreamed

Inside the cabin, Xavier sat down in the white leather seat. A flight attendant offered him a glass of champagne, which he accepted. It had been harder than he’d expected to convince Sylvia to come. She sat across from him, suddenly glaring at him beneath her dark lashes.Was she angry at him for some reason? God knew why. He was the one who should be angry. She’d left him in the lurch a year ago. In an act of pure charity, he’d allowed her to quit her job. It had been the act of a saint. He’d barely managed to patch up the hole she’d left in his office.‘You’d better have a very trustworthy babysitter in Rio,’ she growled, refusing the offer of champagne.He finished off the crystal flute. ‘Maria Silva.’She blinked. ‘Your housekeeper?’‘She was my nanny when I was young.’‘You were young?’ Sylvia said sardonically.Xavier’s throat closed. Against his will, memories of his happy childhood washed over him, of playing with his older brother, of the wrestling and fighting, of his nanny’s

As they descended through the clouds toward Rio de Janeiro, Sylvia stared out the porthole window at the city shining like a jewel on the sea. She folded her arms with a huff of breath, still furious.You belong to me.Her hands gripped her seat belt. Looking past Robby’s baby seat, where he was thankfully sleeping again after a fairly rough night, Sylvia glanced at Xavier on the opposite side of the jet. She allowed herself a grim smile.Poor Robby had been crying half the flight. Xavier must have been gnashing his teeth to be trapped in his private jet with a baby. Karma, she thought with a degree of satisfaction. Folding her arms, she turned back to the window to see the beautiful, exotic city as they descended through the clouds.It had been difficult for her to leave her mother and sisters in the middle of Becky’s reception. But instead of being angry, her mother and sisters had seemed pleased. They’d hugged her goodbye for the quick weekend trip. ‘You were so happy working for h

Ten minutes later, Xavier paced beneath the hot sun across his rooftop terrace. He stopped, staring down at Ipanema Beach across the Avenida Vieira Souto. He could hear the loud music from the crowds celebrating below. Lifting his eyes, he looked past the throngs of people, past the yellow umbrellas and food vendors to the shining waves of the surf, trying to calm his pounding heart.Now Sylvia was here, everything would soon be sorted out. Oliveira and Adriana would both believe that they were in love. They had to believe. Otherwise….No, he wouldn’t let himself think about failure, not even for an instant. He couldn’t lose his father’s company, not now that it was finally within his grasp. He gripped the railing, glaring at the bright horizon of blue ocean. All along the coastline, tall buildings vied with the sharp green mountains for domination of the sky.He’d changed into khaki shorts and an open, button-down shirt over a tank top, with flip-flops on his feet, Carioca-style.
