A Legacy Of Secrets - Carol Marinelli

Personal Assistant Ella is never without her ‘Santo Bag’—not the latest designer ‘must have’ but emergency supplies to handle whatever the devilish Santo Corretti throws at her. But no pair of sunglasses will cover the darkness in her boss’s eyes this morning.

Scandal is circling. Santo’s family is in tatters, his brother is languishing in a jail cell, and his latest film is on the rocks—all Santo wants is a little TLC. Except Ella’s heart is not part of the playboy fix-it kit.

But what Santo Corretti wants, he gets!

An Invitation To Sin - Sarah Morgan

Taylor Carmichael holds one thing precious: the reputation she’s spent years rebuilding. Then one encounter with Corretti lothario Luca, a bottle of chilled champagne, and a skin-tight dress, and the paparazzi have their shot.

Cool, calm, and irritatingly aloof, Luca couldn’t care less—splash his face over the papers, he has bigger fish to fry. But Taylor is fuming. Luca had the chance to halt the press and refused. Well, this time she’ll make the headlines work for her:

Stop The Press: Bad Boy Luca Corretti To Wed Screen Siren Taylor Carmichael

A Shadow Of Guilt - Abby Green

Valentina Ferranti has always blamed Gio Corretti and his reckless behaviour for her brother’s death. The last time she saw Gio, she slammed the door on him and her youthful infatuation.

Now, broke and her name slandered by the infamous Carmela Corretti, Val needs help. There’s only one person she can turn to... the cold, inscrutable man from her past whose green eyes flash with guilt, regret, and a passion that calls to her.

Valentina may have had the strength to ask for help, but does she have the willpower to resist all that entails?

About the Author

Carol Marinelli recently filled in a form asking for her job title. Thrilled to be able to put down her answer, she put writer. Then it asked what Carol did for relaxation and she put down the truth - writing. The third question asked for her hobbies. Well, not wanting to look obsessed she crossed the fingers on her hand and answered swimming but, given that the chlorine in the pool does terrible things to her highlights - I'm sure you can guess the real answer. Abby Green spent her teens reading Mills & Boon romances. She then spent many years working in the Film and TV industry as an Assistant Director. One day while standing outside an actor's trailer in the rain, she thought: there has to be more than this. So she sent off a partial to Harlequin Mills & Boon. After many rewrites, they accepted her first book and an author was born. She lives in Dublin, Ireland and you can find out more here: www.abby-green.com Sarah Morgan is a USA Today and Sunday Times bestselling author of contemporary romance and women's fiction.
