Harlequin Desire
His
proposition: pretend they’re a couple to end a scandal. But she has secrets of
her own…
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
him, their one amazing night produced a son. Now her family’s biggest football rival is back, offering a seductive wager she can’t
refuse.
Jean-Pierre
despises the media. When rumors fly, he knows a fake relationship is the
perfect diversion for the tabloids—and Tatiana’s unbridled passion is the
perfect diversion for Jean-Pierre. But when she drops a baby bombshell, the
scandal will rock them both!

Excerpt
…Darting
back the way she came, she turned a corner and nearly plowed right
into none other than Jean-Pierre himself.
“Oh!”
With a yelp of surprise, she gripped his forearm to stay upright.
“Shh,”
Jean-Pierre warned her, tucking her under his arm and pressing a
finger to her lips. “There’s a camera crew just down that
hallway.” He nodded to the ramp just ahead on his right.
Tatiana
tensed at his touch. His scent. His maleness. She’d spent so long
avoiding him, but in spite of all logic, he affected her. At
six-three, and at this close range, he had to peer down at her, his
brown eyes flecked with hints of gold and green. She’d fallen for
him hard back in prep school, a young love that had only felt more
poignant after they’d been torn apart by their families’ sudden
rift. They’d both moved on, of course, two thousand miles of
separation proving as effective a deterrent as the well-publicized
feud. But when he’d joined the Gladiators and she’d seen him at
the occasional party, she’d been as drawn to him as ever. It had
been an attraction that hadn’t been reciprocated, judging by his
cold words about her court case last winter. She still didn’t
understand how that terse confrontation in the courtroom had turned
so heated.
Now,
heart hammering, she simply nodded, knowing they needed to avoid the
press. Heaven forbid the media were to overhear what she had to tell
Jean-Pierre.
He
frowned down at her, not moving.
“What?”
she whispered, shaky and off-balance as she peered up into his
shadowed face.
“We
could let them find us,” he suggested, his gaze roving over her as
he seemed to weigh the idea. “They could photograph us kissing.”
The
mention of kissing should not have sent a bolt of lightning through
her. Especially when Jean-Pierre seemed to be mulling over the idea
with the same attention he might give a playbook. Dispassionate.
Assessing.
“Are
you insane?” Her whisper notched up an octave as she grabbed his
sleeve and tugged him in the other direction.
Not
that he moved….
