When aristocratic Alessandro Valessi discovers the existence of his love child, he is determined to be part of Polly Fairfax’s life! But Polly has been raising the child alone — and she doesn’t want or need her son’s father, especially after the arrogant Italian count hurt her so badly. But Alessandro leaves Polly no choice; he will fight her for custody of their child, unless Polly does as he commands…and agrees to marry him immediately!
