Tempted by her billionaire protector...
Traveling to a dangerous Caribbean island to continue her late brotherâs charitable work, Francesca Pellegrini finds herself under the protection of security tycoon Felipe Lorenzi. Independent Francesca is infuriated by his commands, but Felipeâs every look invites her to give up her innocence to him...
With his body and heart as hard as stone after his military career, Felipe has no time for Francescaâs seductive games. Until this captivating young woman entices him beyond all measure, and this lone wolf decides to throw away his strict rules and take her as his own!
Electricity shot between them, so real Felipe could almost hear the crackle. It heated him too, making tiny jolts bounce on his skin, his heart thrum...
His hand rose of its own volition, his fingers stretching towards Francesca.
A throb of need burst through him, so powerful he had to dig his feet into the floor to stop himself from hauling her into his arms.
âYou are not leaving this suite.â His speech was long, drawn-out, ragged.
âIâm not staying with someone who can barely look at me and gets irritated every time I open my mouth.â
Without him knowing how it had happened his fingers closed around the delicate wrists. A moment later heâd pulled her to him so their bodies were flush, her breasts pressed against his chest.
âI donât dislike you,â he ground out, gazing down at the spitting eyes, the luminous skin, the lips that begged to be kissed... âDonât you see that? I like you too much.â
For long, long moments they did nothing but stare at each other, until the anger that blazed so brightly in her eyes softened to blaze with something that struck straight into his loins.

âARE YOU WITH ME?â Francesca Pellegrini tightened her ponytail and glared at the two men sitting opposite her in the small draughty room of the family castle. âWill we work together and build the hospital in Pietaâs memory?â
Daniele threw his hands in the air. âDo we have to discuss this now, in the middle of his wake?â
âI am talking about building an enduring legacy for our brother,â she reminded him crossly.
Francesca had known Daniele and Matteo would need a little convincing but had complete faith she would get their agreement. Hurricane Igor had decimated the Caribbean island of Caballeros only ten days ago. Twenty thousand people had died and the island had been left with only seven working hospitals for a population of eight million. Pieta, the eldest of the Pellegrini siblings, had seen the devastation on the news and had sprung straight into action in the way she had always so admired.
Despite running an international law firm, heâd always looked at practical ways to help those suffering at the hands of natural disasters, donating money, hosting fundraisers and getting his hands dirty. Heâd been famed and honoured for his philanthropy and sheâd been so proud to call herself his sister. She could hardly believe she would never see him again, his life cut short when his helicopter crashed in thick fog.
