Rafe turned his phone to flight-safe mode once they were getting ready to land. There was a tingle of excitement in the pit of his stomach as he made plans to bring Emily to his family. She was stubborn, so he knew it wouldn’t be easy to convince her to leave Key West, but he was fairly confident that he had his ways of persuading her.

They landed at the private airfield the Montoros always used. As Rafe got off the plane and started walking across the tarmac, he noticed there seemed to be a swarm of reporters waiting. Had something happened in Alma in the last ten hours while he’d been on the plane? He slowed down, as did the rest of the party, all looking at one another as they flicked on their phones and scanned headlines.

Gabe was the first one to spot it and cursed under his breath.

“Your baby mama is headline news,” Gabe said.

His baby mama.

Damn.

“It’s not like that,” he said.

Juan Carlos looked pissed but he was quiet as he simply turned away from Rafe and walked toward the hangar. He couldn’t have known that the press would find out about Emily while they were in the air. Rafe shoved his hands into his pockets and rocked back on his heels.

Gabe clapped a sympathetic hand on his shoulders before following the rest of their party into the hangar. Rafe’s phone finally connected and he saw he had a dozen missed calls from Emily along with seven text messages that all said the same thing. Call me.

She’d already seen the news.

Of course she had. For a brief moment he wondered if she’d leaked the news, but then he remembered how fierce she was about keeping to herself. It was doubtful that she’d rat herself out.

When Rafe got into the hangar, Gabe immediately introduced him to a tall, dapper man in a white linen suit. Geoff Standings was a British press agent who’d once worked for the British royal family. Apparently he’d been sent by the royal advisers back in Alma to meet Rafe’s plane and start doing damage control.

Gabe didn’t look as amused as he had a few minutes ago.

“We need to fix this,” Gabe said.

“Duh.”

“No, I mean if the people of Alma decide that you are too hot to touch, then I’m going to have to take your place as king. We need to fix this. Now.”

“Fine. Geoff, what do you recommend? I have been planning to introduce Emily to the family, and was even thinking of having a dinner next week where she could meet the members of my family who came with me on the trip. Do you think we should get engaged? Should I marry her?”

“Well, marriage usually is the right step for an illegitimate baby. But in your case I’m going to have to figure this out. I have already sent my assistant to start researching her lineage. Maybe we can find a relation—however distant—to a royal somewhere.”

“If that doesn’t work?” Rafe asked.
