The manipulative machinations of the great Manzini family have locked Elena Blake into marriage. The reluctant groom is Italy’s most infamous womaniser, Count Angelo Manzini.

Excerpt

From the inside cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #1083, June 2011, UK Edition:

Ellie lifted her head and looked at him, her eyes enormous in her pale face. 'If there is no other way, then I suppose—yes.'

Angelo's brows lifted mockingly. 'You are graciousness itself.'

'If you wanted a more generous reply,' she said, 'you should have asked a more willing lady.'

'On the contrary, Elena,' he said softly. 'I think you will suit my purpose very well.'

He reached for her hand and made to raise it to his lips, but Ellie snatched it back, flushing.

'Perhaps you'd restrict your overtures to those times when we have an audience to convince, My Lord?'
