Seraphina Sloane meets blind Prince Regent Julian Thorne. Her plan: "borrow his seed, have a child, then leave!" Disguised, she cares for him. Julian proposes; she runs away pregnant! Three years later, Josie recognizes her father. Julian, sight restored, catches her—discovering she's his sworn enemy's daughter and matriarch! He sneers, "You tricked my body and my heart, and thought you could run?" She pins him: "My Prince Regent, this time, it's my turn to protect you."
