      The Italian’s shock heir...

      Raising her sister’s child has left Rachel Bern penniless and desperate. Since her orphaned nephew’s family has ignored her attempts at contact, she has no choice but to bring him to the Marcellos’ Venetian door.

      Losing his brother devastated Giovanni Marcello. Rachel’s news is another bombshell, and he can’t believe that she doesn’t have an ulterior motive. One kiss should unravel her deception, until their smoldering chemistry has Gio reconsidering...

      Gio exacts a high price for acknowledging his heir, but Rachel cannot help but succumb to his outrageous demands. Even if it means walking down the aisle!

      “This is my city and my home, and you are the outsider here. If there is to be a story, it’s going to be my story, not yours,” Gio answered, reaching out to lift a dark glossy tendril of hair from Rachel’s cheek.

      He felt carnal and hungry. Desire ran hot in his veins.

      “The only story is the truth. You have a nephew you refuse to acknowledge, never mind support.”

      “But is he my nephew?”

      “Yes, you know he is. I’ve sent you the birth certificate and we can do a DNA test while I’m here—”

      “Proving what?” he retorted. Before she could answer, he reached for her again, his hand coiling in her long dark hair, tilting her head back to take her mouth in a long, searing kiss.

      She didn’t stiffen or resist. If anything, she leaned into him and he wrapped an arm around her slender frame holding her against him as he deepened the kiss, his tongue sweeping her mouth, tasting her, weakening her defenses. By the time he lifted his head, she was silent, no fight left in her. Her wide brown eyes looked up into his.

      “You should never underestimate your opponent, Rachel,” he said quietly, running his thumb lightly across her soft flushed cheek. “And you most definitely shouldn’t have underestimated me.”
