Xavier Parker gets what he wants. Richer than God. Hotter than fire. Colder than ice. Father of my child. And he has no idea. As London’s top restauranteur, he has the golden touch, but he rules his world with an iron fist. Now he’s back in New York with two objectives: Open the newest hotspot in the city. And win back my heart, five years after he broke it. I’d run in the opposite direction, but it’s been so long... And Xavier knows my recipe. Passion. Pleasure. Just the right kind of pain. Imagine his surprise when a little girl opens my door instead of me. A stubborn, button-nosed four-year-old whose shiny black hair and bright blue eyes look just like his. There’s a secret in this house, and he won’t stop until he figures it out. Because Xavier Parker gets what he wants. And now that includes his daughter. First Comes Love is the exciting first book in a secret baby romance trilogy from Nicole French. Follow her and put the book on your TBR for updates on a LIVE release!

Once upon a time, I fell for a dashing London restaurateur named Xavier. He left me with a broken heart… and a positive pregnancy test. Now, he’s back in my life and determined to stay. He asks me just one question: will I move to London with him? But as I enter Xavier’s world, our differences couldn’t be starker. He’s tall, dashing, and practically royal. I’m short, bookish, and the definition of common. First comes love, then comes marriage. Yet all I’ve got are half-truths and masked secrets. If Xavier and I catch fire, the only thing left in the embers may be our deceptions. A note from the author: THEN COME LIES is the highly anticipated follow-up to the bestselling grumpy-sunshine, secret baby romance, First Comes Love. While it can be read as a standalone, you will enjoy it more if you read Book 1 in the series first. Enjoy! xo, Nic
