A bride for the billionaire...
Dea Caraccilo spent her whole life feeling inferior to her twin sister—never more so than when she first met billionaire Guido Rossano... Since then, Dea’s worked hard to put her old self behind her, and to see life from a glass-half-full perspective!
For Guido, enchanting Dea is the one that got away. So when an unexpected encounter throws them together again, Guido seizes his chance like the ruthless billionaire businessman he is! But can he win the only prize worth having: feisty, secretly vulnerable Dea as his wife?
His eyes pierced hers. “You really don’t have any idea what you do to a man, do you? I’m going to kiss you so you’ll find out.”
Guido’s intensity shook her, and then his head descended and his mouth closed over hers. Enveloped in heat, she felt his hands roam over her back and hips, urging her closer so she could feel every hard muscle and sinew in his body.
Though Dea had been with a few men who’d wanted to kiss her passionately, she hadn’t fully reciprocated. Something had always held her back...until now.
This was different. Guido was different.
The feel of his mouth slowly devouring hers created such divine sensations she felt like she’d been born for this moment and couldn’t get enough.
“Guido...” she gasped in pleasure as he drew her into a wine-dark rapture.
She clung to him. They were moving and breathing like they were a part of each other. Emotions greater than she could describe had taken over now that Guido had swept her into his arms.

Extract
DEA CARACCIOLO STOOD inside the grand dining hall of the castle on Posso Island. She was ready to flee now that she’d done her part during the wedding ceremony of her twin sister, Alessandra, and Rinieri Montanari.
“Darling? Why are you here by the doors?”
Oh, no. She turned her head in surprise. “Mamma.”
“I still need to be in line to greet the guests and would like you to go sit with Guido and his parents.”
Dea didn’t think she could bear it. “Please don’t make me.”
“But you’re the maid of honor. Your father and I are depending on you to entertain the best man and his family. Alessandra says they love Rini, and Signor Rossano has spoken highly of you since the night you were a model in the fashion show on his yacht. Come on. I’ll walk you over to their table.”
The mention of the yacht increased her agony, but this was one situation Dea couldn’t get out of. Somehow she would have to endure Guido’s company for a few more minutes.
During the wedding ceremony they’d gone through the motions to be civil to each other in order to carry out their duties, but he’d hardly looked at her and she knew why. He couldn’t help but have a low opinion of her since that night on the yacht when she’d made the worst blunder of her life with Rini in front of Guido. He probably assumed she was still in love with her new brother-in-law.
The situation couldn’t be uglier, but her mother expected her to be gracious for a little while longer. When they approached the table, Guido and his father got to their feet before inviting her to sit down.
Guido’s mother was a lovely woman and Dea tried to concentrate on her once they started to eat. “My sister told me about your generous gift to her and Rini.”
“We thought they should honeymoon on our yacht to get away from everyone else. Alessandra is perfectly charming, and Rini’s a favorite of ours.”
“So I’ve heard.”
“I have to say, you looked so beautiful the night of the fashion show,” Signora Rossano continued. “But tonight you’re even more beautiful.”
“Thank you,” she whispered.
“It’s only the truth,” a smiling Signor Rossano interjected. “Don’t you think so, Guido?”
His son put down his champagne glass. “Papà? As you well know, Signorina Caracciolo has most of the Italian male population at her feet.”
His
