Guarded Heart (Harlequin Presents)

Summary: Do you think hitting a pregnant 18 year old is romantic?
Review: Neither do I. The guy is upset because the girl was responsible for an accident that took the life of his wife and unborn child. She was 16 at the time and it was simply an unfortunate accident. The guy basically has her stalked till she turns 18 and forces her to marry him by blackmailing her. He threatened to ruin her widowed mother and her sister. He is a lot older and makes her sleep with him until she is pregnant. Once she is pregnant she informs him and he hits her, hard enough to leave a mark. Nice huh? Since this is a Harlequin you know she stays but would you have stayed with a monster like him? No amount of love can explain emotional and physical abuse.
