Publisher's Synopsis
Some blazes, once ignited, can't be extinguished.
Just one burning touch connects a Dante with his soul mate.
The Inferno ... curse or blessing?
A one night stand...A secret baby...
When Draco Dante experiences The Inferno with Dante family rival, Shayla Charleston, he isn't the least opposed. In fact, he sweeps her off her feet and straight into his bed. What he doesn't expect is for her to disappear after their one night of passion. Unwilling to let her go and with The Inferno burning in his veins, he spends months searching for her ... only to discover Shayla is expecting his baby. Like, now!
On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Shayla Charleston has three goals. 1. Make sure her grandmother is taken care of. 2. Take off for Europe with her new boss. 3. Experience a one-night stand. Instead, she ends up in bed with the one man she should avoid at all costs ... a Dante, her grandmother's nemesis.
Now nine months pregnant, Shayla is torn between families-her husband's and hers. Even though Draco is reluctant to trap Shayla in an unwanted marriage, he's determined his son will bear the Dante name. So they come to an agreement. She'll marry him and, unwillingly, he'll let her go.
Can The Inferno resolve old rivalries? And more important, can it prove that love and family trumps everything, even a marriage pact?

Q & A with Day Leclaire:
So explain this Inferno business?
Right?!? Wouldn't it make life so much simpler-and so much more complicated-if we could identify our soul mates with a single touch? I loved the concept and it was the springboard for the entire series. I always try to incorporate just a touch of fantasy in all my books. To my delight, readers seem to identify with the idea, so thanks to all of you who fell in love with both the Dantes and The Inferno!
Can you tell us one interesting detail about this particular book?
There's a book I wrote a while back that is one of my favorites, Her Secret Santa. It featured a children's artist, Jacqueline Randell, who used the pseudonym Jack Rabbitt. What I loved so much about that book was how Jacq would surreptitiously paint mythical creatures (mostly my favorite-dragons) on the hero's desk. Jacq makes a guest appearance in this book and I absolutely loved having that little Easter egg crossover from another series.
