Book Description

Blurb

From the back cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #961, April 2010, UK Edition:

From dowdy frump…to stunning siren!

Charley would do anything to keep her wages coming in to support her impoverished sisters and nephews – even if that meant working in Italy for the demanding and commanding Duke Raphael Della Striozzi…

Raphael couldn’t see how a woman so artistic would be seen dead in her cheap high street clothes. It was straight off to a designer boutique for her! But it was in Raphael’s bedroom Charlotte’s complete transformation took place – from shy, dowdy virgin to confident, beautiful…mistress!

Needed: The World’s Most Eligible Billionaires Three penniless sisters, pure and proud… but about to be purchased!

Excerpt

From the inside cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #961, April 2010, UK Edition:

'You need a working wardrobe commensurate with your position,' Raphael informed her.

Charley looked at him. 'I have plenty of clothes at home that my sisters can send to me.'

Raphael raised one eyebrow in a way that made her face burn. 'Let me guess: these clothes that you have at home are dull, plain garments that are two sizes too big for you? Si? They will not be suitable for your new role. You will be dealing with artists and craftsmen who value beauty,' he emphasised. 'Why does the thought of wearing beautiful clothes fill you with such panic? Most women--'

'I am not most women, and it does not fill me with panic,' Charley denied. But of course he was right. She couldn't tell him that she was afraid of wearing beautiful clothes because she knew they would only underline how unworthy she was of wearing them.

'You have already agreed to work under my direction and to abide by my conditions,' Raphael reminded her.

'As your project manager, not with you telling me what to wear,' Charley retorted. 'Work clothes for me mean a sturdy pair of boots and a properly fitting hard hat.'

'You shall have those, of course, but I hardly think that even you would want to dress in such things for dinner.'
