Perfection in every kiss...
After a decade abroad, international playboy Immanuel Morretti is ready to reunite with his family and share the good life with that one special woman. When he rescues Dionne Fontaine from a dangerous attacker, he knows in his heart that heâs found her. Despite the desire igniting between them, the self-made Southern beauty refuses to take their sizzling affair to the next level.
With her life-coaching center taking off, Dionne is poised for game-changing success. Then this dashing, sensuous man comes into her life and his tenderness and passion tempt her to believe in happy endings. From Atlanta to Seattle to Venice, Immanuel showers her with romantic dinners and intimate nights beyond her wildest dreams. But explosive secrets from their pasts could sabotage their thrilling vision of love...and a future together...
Dionne nodded, but she didnât move.
Immanuel didnât either. Couldnât. Felt as if his feet were glued to the ground. Their eyes met, held for a beat. Lust exploded inside his body, threatened to consume him. Their connection was undeniable, but it was nothing heâd ever act upon. Heâd been burned by love before, betrayed by a woman heâd thought was his soul mate, and he wasnât going down that road again. Not even for a dime piece like Dionne. He had to keep his head, had to remember that no good could ever come of them being lovers. Thatâs easier said than done, he thought.
Dionne stared at him, her gaze strong and intense. His hands itched to touch her, to caress every slope and curve on her delicious body. His pulse quickened, and his thoughts ran wild. What would she do if I kissed her? Would she push me away or kiss me back? Does she feel the chemistry between us, or is it a figment of my imagination?
Thereâs only one way to find out, whispered his inner voice.
Born into one of Italyâs wealthiest, most prominent families, Immanuel Morretti has more money than he can ever spend. But that doesnât mean heâs lived a charmed life. He is estranged from his father, has endured a bitter scandal that damaged his reputation and business, and he caught his fiancée in bed with another manâhis younger brother. Love is the last thing on Immanuelâs mind when he relocates from Venice to Atlanta, so imagine his surprise when he meets Dionne Fontaine and falls hard and fast for her.
Too bad sheâs off-limits.
On the outside looking in, Dionne seems to have it all, but she has fears and insecurities just like the rest of us. Unlucky in love, with two failed marriages, sheâs given up all hope of ever meeting her soul mate and living happily ever after.
Enter Immanuel Morretti.
The security specialist is more than just a handsome face and chiseled physique. Heâs the total package, a hero with a heart of gold, and everything about him excites her. Dionne and Immanuel are a match made in heaven. After a romantic weekend in The Emerald City filled with passionate kisses, shared confidences and delicious lovemaking, they decide to take a chance on loveâand each other.

This is my twentieth Harlequin novel. Yes, you read that correctly. TWENTIETH. It seems like just yesterday I got âthe call,â but itâs been eight wonderful years.
They say it takes a village to raise a child, and the same can be said about publishing a romance novel! I want to thank Harlequin, my amazing agent, Sha-Shana Crichton, for believing in my gift, past and present Kimani staff, and my friends and family for their unwavering support. Iâm living my dream, and youâre the reason why. Hereâs to twenty more!

âSurely you canât be that dumb.â Dionne Fontaine heard the scathing retort leave her mouth and wished she could cram the words back down her throat. Not because she felt guilty for losing her temper, but because the novice life coach with the Dolly Partonâlike cleavage had burst into tears.
Her vice president and friend, Sharleen Nichols, glared at her as if she were the problem, and Dionne wondered if sheâd been too harsh. Considering all of the facts, Dionne determined her next move. Sharleen and Annabelle Clark had arrived at her office ten minutes earlier, during her morning meditation time, and although sheâd been annoyed by the interruption, Dionne had given them her undivided attention. She was the CEO of Pathways Center, the head woman in charge, and she prided herself on being accessible to her employees. Even starstruck life coaches who put themselves in compromising situations with male clients.
