‘Falcon.’

Annie could hear the relief in her own voice as she half ran and half stumbled across the room, all but flinging herself into Falcon’s arms, but she simply didn’t care.

‘They’re trying to take him from me. They’re trying to say that I’m a bad mother.’

‘The child is a Leopardi,’ she could hear the old Prince insisting. ‘His place is here with—’

‘With me.’ Falcon stopped his father in mid-rant. ‘And that is exactly where Oliver will be from now on. With me and with his mother, since she has agreed to be my wife. I shall be formally adopting him as my son.’

Falcon’s arm was round her, supporting her, tightening in warning as she made a small, shocked sound of protest.

‘And I should warn you that there is no law in this land or any other that will remove from me the right to be the guardian of my stepson, a child of my own blood, and the protector of both him and his mother.’

THE LEOPARDI BROTHERS

Sicilian by name… Scandalous, scorching and seductive by nature!

Three darkly handsome Leopardi men believe it is their duty to hunt down their missing heir—as Sicilians, as sons, as brothers!

Falcon has found the child, and he has found its mother…but he has also discovered the dark secrets of his late half-brother.

‘There is something I have to say to you,’ Falcon told Annie. ‘Your right to your sexuality has been stolen from you by a member of my sex, and the damage that has been done has been compounded by a member of my family. As a Leopardi, and the eldest of my brothers, I have a duty to make recompense to you and to restore to you what has been taken away. That is the law of the Leopardi family, and the code by which we live.’
