Billionaire Dante Schininà is suspicious when he’s woken in his hotel room by Alicia Domenica. Ten years earlier, he had to walk away, but the raw sensuality of their last encounter is unforgettable. Feisty chambermaid Alicia is still captivating, but cynical Dante is sure she wants something...

About the Author
I'm a romance writer who believes in happily ever after and the chance to achieve your dreams through hard work, perseverance, and belief in oneself. I'm also a busy mom, wife, employee, and brand new author for Harlequin Desire, so I understand life's complications and the struggle to keep those dreams alive in the midst of chaos. I hope you'll join me as I explore the many experiences of my own journey through the valley of homework, dirty dishes, demanding characters, and the ticking clock. Check out the blog every Monday for fun, updates, and other cool stuff. 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.
