Book Description

Blurb 1

"I want only what's best for you, Dina."

Bella, Dina's godmother, sensed from their first meeting that Raf Ventura was a disruptive force. He wanted to save Dina from the perfect marriage Bella had arranged for her to one of California's most eligible bachelors.

Raf was a dark, passionate stranger - a man as different from Dina's elegant friends as fire from ice. He was not acceptable in Bella's circles, so he couldn't be acceptable in Dina's heart.

And yet nothing seemed able to keep them apart - not even Bella's startling act of revenge.

That one hour with Raf Ventura had been more distressing to Dina Caslyn than anything that had ever befallen her.

His words returned mockingly to her: 'You're a protégée for your godmother to be proud of. In a few more years the coatings of ice will be so thick on your flesh and your feelings that you'll glisten like a diamond - a lovely frosty diamond with no fire at its heart.'

No, Dina knew, she couldn't risk seeing him again!
