Book Description
Blurb
From the back cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #996, July 2010, UK Edition:
He’s going to teach her how
to be a woman!
Vittorio Ralfino, the Count of Cazlevara, is back in Italy to find a traditional wife. Anamaria Viale, a good local girl, loyal and scandal-free, is perfect.
Anamaria’s stunned that her teenage crush is proposing to her…an ugly duckling! Tall, voluptuous and awkward, she’s stoically resigned herself to singledom.
But Vittorio is persuasive – and passionate! He offered marriage as a business proposition – but very soon unlocks a deep, powerful need in Ana’s untouched body that only he can sate…
Excerpt 1
From the inside cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #996, July 2010, UK Edition:
'I want you,' Vittorio confessed raggedly, 'so much. Come back to the castle with me. Make love to me, Ana.'
Love. Ana couldn't keep the smile from her voice. 'Again?'
'You think once--or twice--is enough?'
She could hardly believe he wanted her so much. It shook her to her very bones, the heart of herself. 'No, definitely not,' she murmured.
'Come back--'
'No. Not at the castle, Vittorio. Here.'
He stared down at the dusty ground of the vineyard. 'Here?' he repeated dubiously.
'Yes,' Ana said firmly, tugging on his hand. 'Here.' Here, where he'd found her desirable--sexy--even in her work clothes with her wind-tangled hair. Here, where she'd felt safe and heaven-bound all at once, and wanted to again, in Vittorio's arms. Here, because among the grapes and the soil she was her real self, not the woman who wore fancy dresses and high heels and tried to seduce her husband with tricks she couldn't begin to execute with any skill or ease.
Here.
