Has this Caffarelli finally met his match?
Millionaire playboy Raoul Caffarelli has always lived life in the fast lane. But when an accident confines him to a wheelchair—and to the care of a woman whose beauty taunts him—he’s consumed with rage and frustration.
Used to difficult patients, physical therapist Lily Archer won’t be cowed by Raoul’s arrogance or distracted by his Adonis-like physique. Carrying her own scars from the past, Lily has vowed never to relinquish her power to a man again.
Both underestimate the power of the shared passion between them. Their physical scars may heal, but some wounds run much deeper.…
Raoul held her gaze for longer than she felt comfortable with. He seemed to be seeing right through her façade.
It terrified her.
‘You’re scared,’ Raoul pointed out wryly.
Lily raised her chin. ‘Not of you.’
His gaze held hers in that quietly assessing way that unsettled her so much.
‘I’m very glad to hear it. How could we ever work together if you’re frightened of me?’
She blinked at him. ‘You want to work with me?’
‘Yes.’
‘But I don’t understand …’
‘I quite like the idea of getting to know you, Lily Archer. I suspect no one else has achieved that before.’
She gave him a guarded look. ‘I suppose you see me as yet another challenge to overcome?’
‘No.’ His eyes glanced briefly at her mouth before coming back to mesh with hers. ‘I see you as a temptation I should resist.’
Her brows lifted. ‘Should?’
‘Can’t,’ he said, and before she could move even an inch out of his way he covered her mouth with his.
THOSE SCANDALOUS CAFFARELLIS
Rich. Ruthless. Irresistible.
Brothers Rafe, Raoul and Remy are better known as the Three Rs:
1. Rich—
Italy’s most brilliant billionaires.
2. Ruthless—
they’ll do anything to protect their place at the top.
3. Irresistible—
their business prowess is rivalled only by their reputation in the bedroom.
(Just ask any glittering socialite they’ve ever met!)

CHAPTER ONE
‘BUT I NEVER work with male clients,’ Lily said to her boss at the south London physical therapies rehabilitation clinic. ‘You know that.’
‘I know but this is such an amazing opportunity,’ Valerie said. ‘Raoul Caffarelli is from serious money. This four-week live-in post in Normandy will be worth a year’s work to you. I can’t send anyone else. Anyway, his brother absolutely insisted on you.’
