The child he bears is mine

Lioran is broke and pregnant—and the father is his cold, untouchable roommate Torin, the Valecrest heir who’s already promised to someone else. He hides the truth because he’s afraid: once Torin knows, he’ll lose even the baby. But when Maris has Lioran dragged into a car and Torin pulls open the door, he sits beside Lioran and asks: “Is this baby mine?” Lioran nods. Torin’s hand trembles as it finally touches Lioran’s belly. “The bastard I cursed all this time,” he says, voice breaking, “was mine all along.” No dramatic confessions—just two people who were too late, but not too late to choose each other.
