       The Last Di Sione Claims His Prize

      Maisey Yates

      “I want that painting. It is my last Lost Mistress. My Lost Love.”

      Alessandro Di Sione is renowned for being cold and unsentimental, but even he can’t deny his grandfather’s dream of retrieving a painting steeped in royal scandal. Yet the key to its return is the outspoken Princess Gabriella.

      While traveling together to Isola D’Oro to locate the mysterious painting, Gabby is drawn to the man tortured by guilt from his past. Her innocence makes her untouchable, as Alex is convinced his Di Sione blood is tainted. But could their passion be his salvation?

      “Who said I was a maiden?” Gabby closed her eyes for a second, allowing the sun to wash over her face, the corners of her lips curving up slightly into a smile.

      “You didn’t have to say it,” Alessandro said. “I could feel it in your kiss.” Or rather the lack of it.

      Her stomach sank down to her toes and she opened her eyes again, the corners of her lips falling. “Was it so terrible?”

      Of course it hadn’t been.

      “Not terrible. Inexperienced. I could taste it on your skin.”

      “That’s ridiculous. Inexperience doesn’t have a flavor.”

      He grabbed hold of her arm again, turned her to face him, drawing her closely toward him. Rather than speeding up, this time her heart stopped beating altogether.

      He lowered his head slightly, then reached up, sliding his thumb along the edge of her lip. “Yes, Gabriella, inexperience absolutely has a flavour. And on your lips there was also innocence and wildflowers. I did not mistake the taste of any of that.”

CHAPTER ONE

      IT WAS RUMORED that Alessandro Di Sione had once fired an employee for bringing his coffee back two minutes later than commanded and five degrees cooler than ordered. It was rumored that he had once released a long-term mistress with a wave of his hand and an order to collect a parting gift from his assistant in the following weeks.

      There were also rumors that he breathed fire, slept in a dungeon and derived sustenance from the souls of the damned.

      So, when his shiny new temporary assistant scurried into the room, with red cheeks and an apologetic expression, on the heels of his grandfather—who appeared neither red-cheeked nor sorry for anything—it was no surprise
