"Sexy!!"

Jilted just a fortnight before her wedding to millionaire boyfriend, Luke Freeman, Isabel Hunt decides to get away from the disappointments life has been dropping at her doorstep recently. Isabel has made no secret of the fact that she wants marriage and children, but her failure to find a man worth marrying has left her disheartened. Then she decided that although she can't have marriage to a guy who will love and cherish her, she's totally bent on having a baby and artificial insemination is the answer. However, before she indulges in the wonders of motherhood, she's going to indulge her body and her senses in some naughty foreplay with a very sexy and wickedly attractive man! In the mood to do something totally wild and unconservative, she asks reknowned photographer Rafe St. Vincent, whose bedroom eyes hold the promise of highly erotic nights and toe-curling passion, to come away with her for two weeks of steamy sex - with no strings attached.

Rafe St. Vincent is a top-flight fashion and magazine photographer. He doesn't cover weddings anymore. However, as a favor to an old friend who has met with an accident, Rafe agrees to meet with Isabel Hunt and cover her wedding. One look at the cool blonde beauty and Rafe's customary laid-back demeanor flies out the window. He wants her like he's never wanted anyone before. So when Isabel gets jilted and turns to Rafe, ready to give him what he wants from her - hot erotic sex with no committments or promises - Rafe, like any hot-blooded man, jumps at the opportunity. However, as they embark on their passionate holiday, Rafe suddenly finds himself wanting more: love, marriage, children; the whole enchilada... but can he possibly convince Isabel of the same?

Miranda Lee excels once again in giving her fans another hot, steamy and sensual tale that sizzles with passion and bone melting seduction. Packed with intense emotions and rich characters, the fast-paced plot in THE SECRET LOVE- CHILD will keep readers turning the pages furiously as they join Rafe and Isabel on a journey of toe-curling seduction and incredibly sweet romance.

Ms. Lee has crafted a beautiful, sexy story with two main characters who are very interesting, to say the least - especially Rafe St. Vincent. In a word, the guy is 'Yummy'! It was very easy to fall in love with him, phantom earring and all. His natural charm and sexy aura left Isabel - and me! - breathless. The plot has interesting twists that I wasn't expecting and the author's talent for penning colorful descriptions tantalizes the imagination to say the least.

THE SECRET LOVE-CHILD is a highly recommended and definitely not easily forgotten!
