Description
In this classic contemporary romance by a USA Today-bestseller, an arrogant tycoon's former mistress struggles to keep him out her life-and their son's. Once, Luc Santini's inherent sensuality had been Catherine Parrish's downfall. For two years she had loved him unconditionally, until she realized that this impossibly rich, and infuriatingly powerful man regarded her as a possession! Catherine fled her gilded cage, keeping her pregnancy a secret . . . until now. Fate has placed Luc back show more into her life. He doesn't know about their child . . . and Catherine intends to keep it that way. But will she surrender to his erotic demands-and risk losing herself in a whirl of desire-to protect her son?

This book had a little of everything. Secret babies, car accidents, amnesia...The hero was a total ass to the heroine at the beginning, causing her to leave him. When they meet again two years later, he does everything in his power to get her back. I like books where you find out that the minute he lost her he knew he had made a major mistake and has actually spent the intervening time looking for her and getting things ready for her return. These guys are just so hopeful. But the girls, as here, are so hurt that they lash out and of course the hero cannot say immediately "I made a mistake, I love you, I want you back." No instead they have to act all nasty and controlling (they've had their feelings hurt after all) and then when their show more women suddenly get amnesia they have to pretend the last few years haven't happened and rush the heroine into marriage before she remembers. If only these guys read romances, they'd know they were only heading for trouble...
This was a pretty indepth book even though it was only 190 pages. The words were tiny though and the margins narrow so it wasn't as short as it seemed. It was well written and the characters were well developed. The motivations made sense and the characters actions were not all over the place. The misunderstandings were fairly small and understandable. A recommended read for HP lovers. show less

Read this book in 2016 and I was genuinely horrified! Until I talked myself off a ledge and made allowances for the year it was written
