She was his pregnant mistress... Two years ago, Freya Addison fell for sexy billionaire Zac Deverell.

When they meet again, the passion between them is as strong as ever. Zac whisks Freya away to Monaco and back to his bed, where he'll get his answers! If the baby is his, he'll make Freya his wife....

This is one of my favorite tropes in the HP world. Heroine is mistress to the hero. She gets pregnant but he throws her out, convinced she was cheating because he's had a vasectomy. But this one just failed in execution for me.

Once he finds her again and she has a fairly reasonable explanation of what happened even though he knows that some vasectomies fail he still refuses to consider he might be one of the failures. He calls her every nasty name in the book but still gets her in bed every third page it seemed like. She was totally spineless. I think any man who called me those sorts of names and told me to my face I was trash would not be able to talk me into bed 5 minutes later especially after first time he said "see I told you you show more were a 'ho" afterwards.

I'm used to a certain amount of asshatery and spinelessness but CS just didn't sell me on it this time.

Sometimes you just need a break from all the blue aliens kidnapping earth women and lose yourself in a sweet, Harlequin with a HEA..... Yeah I know it got bad reviews but I loved it.

Horrible but very sexy Hero ...check

Strong Heroine (bad childhood)... check

Adorable baby... check

Sweet mother of the hero... check...

Sometimes you need something very Harlequinishy!
