Alexei's Passionate Revenge. HELEN BIANCHIN

      Reunited...

      Natalya Montgomery thought she was over Alexei Delandros, but working with him again rekindles old feelings and promises of the intense ardor they once shared. But if Natalya once held Alexei’s heart, now she only holds his contempt...

      For revenge!

      Natalya’s love almost destroyed Alexei; their lust blinded him to the truth about her. But the formidable Greek won’t be fooled again! Natalya will pay for her betrayal in the most passionate way Alexei knows, and his vengeance will be all the more sweet...

      Alexei lowered his head and brushed his mouth against Natalya’s. He felt the slight tremble of her lips and parted them, tasting the sweetness of her mouth with the erotic slide of his tongue, sensing her hesitation and teasing her into compliance. He absorbed her faint sigh and went in deep.

      Revenge—did this feel like revenge?

      Not in any sense.

      As his mouth closed over hers the edge of his tongue sought to breach the tight seam of her lips and won, and her resistance faded as she fought against desire.

      ‘Let me go, Alexei. We shouldn’t be doing this.’

      ‘Why? You’re enjoying this as much as I am.’

      Natalya pulled away from him and Alexei let her go, despite wanting to pull her back into the strength of his arms. The kiss had stirred feelings in him he’d long tried to forget. Feelings only Natalya could ever evoke.

      ‘You think I’m willing to just scratch an itch with you, Alexei? Not going to happen.’

      ‘No?’

      ‘No. And if you think so you misjudge me,’ she replied, turning away from him—but not before noticing how his eyes had darkened and become almost black.

      ‘As you misjudge me,’ he assured her, far too quietly.

      HELEN BIANCHIN was born in New Zealand and travelled to Australia before marrying her Italian-born husband. After three years they moved, returned to New Zealand with their daughter, had two sons, then resettled in Australia.

      Encouraged by friends to recount anecdotes of her years as a tobacco share farmer’s wife living in an Italian community, Helen began setting words on paper and her first novel was published in 1975.

      Currently Helen resides in Queensland, and her three children are now married with children of their own. An animal lover, Helen says her two beautiful Birman cats regard her study as as much theirs as hers, choosing to leap onto her desk every afternoon and sit upright between the computer monitor and keyboard as a reminder that they need to be fed…like, right now!
