Expecting Her Enemy's Heir

PIPPA ROSCOE lives in Norfolk near her family and makes daily promises to herself that this is the day she’ll leave the computer to take a long walk in the countryside. She can’t remember a time when she wasn’t dreaming about handsome heroes and innocent heroines. Totally her mother’s fault, of course—she gave Pippa her first romance to read at the age of seven! She is inconceivably happy that she gets to share those daydreams with you all. Follow her on Twitter, @pipparoscoe.

This couldn’t be happening. “No contraception is one hundred percent assured. It seems this is an instance of...” Dr. Moretti looked between Amelia and Alessandro as if trying to gauge the appropriate word, and decided it didn’t need clarifying. “You will want to visit your own doctor when you get home.” Home. A flat she shared with her sister. A sister still hell-bent on vengeance against her baby’s father and cousin once removed. She pressed her fingers to her mouth, trying to keep the swell of nausea down. It was all too much. She glanced up at the doctor and then to Alessandro, who looked as pale and shocked as she felt.

Amelia Seymore peered through the window at the dark grey clouds on the horizon, while early morning joggers and cyclists risked life and limb in the narrow juncture between the bus and the pavement. The start, stop of the number 176 as it crawled north across the bridge was making her nauseous, but it was the smell of damp wool and deodorant that forced her from the bus a stop early, gasping for fresh air.
