Book Description
Blurb
From the back cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #1070, April 2011, UK Edition:
She refuses to give in to him…
Lucy Steadman refuses to be intimidated by brooding Italian Lorenzo Zanelli. He may hold the fate of her family’s business in his iron fist, but she will not submit to his more personal demands.

'Oh, I will, Lucy. You see, sweetheart...' he mocked her with the endearment '...your pleasure is my pleasure.'
His mouth lowered to hers, and the burning pressure of his kiss ignited her fiercely controlled feelings. She trembled helplessly.
'What we had before will seem like a mere taste, and you will be begging me for more," he murmured against her mouth...
