Luciana Vivaldi rushed to Italy to care for her after the death of her sister, and then fell in love with the culture and people. Beautiful and whip smart, she's been recruited to keep the Romano Resort's hunky structural engineer focused and to take him to task. She's got a passion for organizing and no time for romance-that's just a kiss following her.
Gianpierre and Luciana do not have time for distractions, but when they come to a fate-and-brisk housing market-leave them living together, their excuses for staying apart as fast as the foundation. The sparkle is more blinding than a sicilian sunset, but when you're in the mood for a lifelong love? Or wants it all fall like a house of cards?
Leslie North is the pen name for a critically-acclaimed author of women's contemporary romance and fiction. The anonymity gives her the perfect opportunity to paint with her full artistic palette, especially in the romance and erotic fantasy genres.
The truth of the matter is she loves her fictional persona, Leslie North, more than her normal, day-to-day persona! Her bestselling books focus on strong characters and particularly women who aren't afraid to challenge an alpha male. Inspired after years of travel, her stories are set all over the world, from the tough streets of Russia to the beautiful beaches of the middle east.
Leslie fell in love with romance when she first picked up a scrappy, dog-eared romance book from her local library. She began writing soon after and the rest, as they say, was history. She now lives in a cozy cottage on the British coast and enjoys taking long walks with her two Dalmatians, George and Fergie.
