The challenge: to leave your billionaire lifestyle behind for two weeks...
Italian tycoon Antonio Di Marcello relishes a challengeâbut running into Sadie Parker while undercover as a mechanic rocks him to the core. Four years after their fevered fling stripped away his iron guard, heâs confronted with the shocking consequences...
Sadie gave up hope on her desperate attempts to contact Antonio. Now she has to face the day sheâs both dreaded and longed for! Yet Antonioâs claim over her and her son is hard to resistâespecially because heâll use a sensual onslaught to get what he wants!
âI want my son, Sadie, and I will do all it takes.â Antonio had lowered his voice, the deep tones full of control and determination.
âHe is not a possession. A thing to be coveted. He is a child. My child.â
She turned and walked away from him, exasperated by the circles they were talking in. All it came back to each time was that he wanted Leo. How she wished she could paint over that weekend as easily as she could cover the blank canvas on her easel.
She stood looking down on the street from the small window, her back to Antonio as if that would make him disappear, make all this go away. Sheâd once foolishly dreamt of him turning up to claim his son and declare his love for her, telling her that he couldnât live without her, but now she knew that was never going to happen. The man who stood so arrogantly in her small apartment was as cold as ice. He was as unfeeling and uncaring as his parents. Did she really want Leo to grow up like that?
âHe is my child too.â
Antonioâs voice reached her through the fog of hurt and disappointment.
âAnd you leave me no alternative but to do this.â
âIâll wager that not one of you can go two weeks without your credit cardsâ¦â

ANTONIO DI MARCELLO SAVOURED the Macallan 1946 as it blended perfectly with the adrenalin which still held power over him after the para-skiing challenge he, Sebastien Atkinson, Stavros Xenakis and Alejandro Salazar had completed. It had been the ultimate challenge, but now it seemed Sebastien, the founder of their elite global extreme sports club formed while he was at Oxford, had something even more testing in mind.
Sebastien, older by several years, had taken on the role of mentor long ago, but a near tragedy had changed him, changed each of them. Digging a friend out of the depths of an avalanche on the Himalayas would do that to any man. It certainly had changed Sebastienâheâd done the unthinkable soon after and had married. Happily married.
Antonio looked at the three men, the crackle of the fire suddenly deafening as the tension notched up. What the hell was happening? Normally, theyâd be indulging in the company of women such as the trio of sexy platinum blondes who kept looking enticingly their way. But tonight was different and not just because Sebastien was living the life of a happily married man.
