Italian Villa Vendetta - Cara Colter

Under the Italian sun, battle lines are drawn!

After leaving her co-worker fiancé, Essie quits her job and travels to Italy to clear out her late grandmother’s villa. Bristling at the unfairness of the world, she finds herself at war with billionaire neighbour Lucas, who is as infuriatingly arrogant as he is handsome! Then an earthquake throws them together, sending her emotional defences crumbling. And once she glimpses the compassionate widower behind Lucas’s enemy façade, she realises there’s more to love than to hate...

Enemies Under One Roof - Clare Miles

Temptation lies behind mansion doors...

Actress Ivy clings to her scandalous on-screen persona as a shield against her grief and guilt. Only billionaire Ethan ever enticed her to let down her guard — an unrepeatable disaster. Until her late godmother’s will requires her to live temporarily with the man she pushed away! Every charged glance says Ethan’s neither forgiven nor forgotten her...and he still has an uncanny ability to see through her pain. Can Ivy fight their magnetism again? Or should she call a truce — by laying bare her heart?

About the Author

Cara Colter shares ten acres in British Columbia with her real life hero Rob, ten horses, a dog and a cat.  She has three grown children and a grandson. Cara is a recipient of the Career Acheivement Award in the Love and Laughter category from Romantic Times BOOKreviews.  Cara invites you to visit her on Facebook! After years of inner-city Sydney living, Clare Miles moved to the stunning Illawarra Coast into a retro apartment that has enough original features to give her a new appreciation for the colour orange. A life-long lover of history, cats and Elvis, it's no surprise she has a degree in history, a rescue cat who's definitely boss of the household, and an endless supply of memories from attending the Parkes Elvis Festival (numerous times). And she'd recommend all three! Career-wise, from her very first job delivering papers with her brothers, through working at Macca's with her bestie, to the countless jobs she held in the corporate world ... she always dreamt of being a published author and is beyond thrilled that this dream has come true. www.claremiles.com https://www.instagram.com/claremiles_author/ https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/20748067.Clare_Miles
