Tatiana
Doucet has dealt with sexy, arrogant athletes most of her life. But Jean-Pierre
Reynaud is a whole different animal—in bed and on the field. Unbeknownst to
Jean-Pierre
Son?
Jean-Pierre had taken
hits from the toughest, strongest, meanest players in the NFL. Afterward, as he
lay in the grass with his ears ringing and his vision blurred, he would
struggle to snap out of the slow-motion fog that felt kind of like being
underwater.

That was exactly how
he felt walking into Tatiana’s apartment, her words slowly permeating his
consciousness along with the cry of an infant. Dazed, confused and trying to
stand up straight despite the floor shifting under his feet, Jean-Pierre stood
in her foyer and waited for her to return from wherever she’d disappeared.

“Mr. Reynaud?” An
older woman in a simple gray dress stepped into the living area to his right.
“Miss Doucet asked if you wouldn’t mind joining her in the family room. It’s
just past the staircase on the left.” She pointed the way and then went about
her business, picking up a few things in the living room.

Seeing that bottle

Fast.
He needed answers
now. Hell, he needed answers months ago. Tatiana had done a whole lot more than
throw his career into a tailspin tonight with her unguarded remark to a member
of the press. She’d been hiding the biggest possible secret that was going to
bind their lives together forever.

“Tatiana?” Her name
was a sharp bark on his lips as he entered the spacious suite overlooking
Central Park.

Framed playbills
lined the walls along with photos of Tatiana and her family. Tatiana with her
father at her graduation from Columbia. TheDoucets outside of a downtown
skyscraper with the brass name plaque of her prestigious law firm. Every
picture was a reminder of the life he might have had with her if her family
hadn’t turned her against him.

A blaze crackled in a
fireplace on the far side of the living area. And beside it, in that warm glow
of flickering light, he spotted her on the dark leather love seat, cradling a
tiny bundle of blankets to her breast. Tatiana’s dark brown curls shielded her
body as much as the blanket, the firelight making the skin of one shoulder glow
where she’d unfastened her dress to feed the baby.

His… son.
Something shifted
inside Jean-Pierre, his whole world tipping on its axis as everything changed
irreversibly.
