       About the Publisher

       CHAPTER ONE

      STAMBOULAS FOTAKIS WAS in a grim mood as he surveyed the dossier sited squarely in front of him on his desk. To the side of it sat the much thinner file containing an investigative report on his quarry, Raffaele di Mancini.

      Raffaele di Mancini, his granddaughter Vivi’s bête noire, the man who had wronged her without reason.

      Another good-looking bastard, he thought irritably, flipping the folder open to scan his victim’s perfectly chiselled profile, which would have done justice to any male supermodel. Obviously, his three granddaughters liked handsome men. Well, he had settled his eldest granddaughter Winnie’s problems, even if that hadn’t quite turned out as he had planned when she had elected to stay married to the father of her son.

      Vivi, however...bright, hot-tempered Vivi...would be a much tougher nut to crack than the more biddable Winnie.
