Deceit of a Pagan by Carole Mortimer (HP 365)

She is an aunt but pretends to be the mother when she meets the baby's uncle.  It causes a lot of problems for them: he can't get past the fact that she was in love with his brother and had his baby, she can't give in to their passion because he'll discover she's a virgin and take the baby from her.  It's a good story and the passion is good.  It's a little unbelievable and overly dramatic at times (I didn't like the hero's attitude towards her when he believed she wasn't a virgin, he treated her as if he couldn't have sex with her unless she was innocent). 

Rating: 3/5 stars, it was ok except the hero was overbearing on the virginity issue, as if her virginity magically fixed their relationship.
