When business becomes pleasure
Winning is a way of life for Dante Morretti, and heâs got the real estate empire to prove it. With custody of his four-year-old son, Matteo, at stake, Dante intends to win that, too. Marrying his best friend, Jordana Sharpe, is a vital step in his plan. But when the alluring actress takes Matteo and Dante sightseeing around Los Angeles, heâs waking up to a world beyond boardrooms and billion-dollar deals.
Jordana is as committed to her acting as Dante is to his business. She doesnât envision feeling that passion for anything else, until her no-strings arrangement with the gorgeous Italian magnate takes a detour...right into Danteâs bed. Suddenly everything is at stakeâher career, his custody fight and a fake marriage that could very well lead to the real family they both secretly crave...
âIâm going to kiss you now,â he whispered, seizing her in his arms. âJust act natural.â
No! Jordana screamed, but the word got trapped inside her throat.
In a blink, she was in his arms, flat against his chest, experiencing the pleasure of his kiss for the first time. He didnât disappoint. He kissed her deeply, thoroughly, and with remarkable tenderness. Jordana didnât know what to do, but in typical Morretti fashion Dante took the reins.
Forgetting they had an audience, Jordana gave herself permission to live in the moment, to enjoy being in his arms, and his sensuous kiss.
Dante moved his lips against hers, took his time pleasing her with his tongue and mouth.
Goose bumps flooded her arms and zipped along her spine. His caress made her feel alive, oh-so-good, caused her body to throb with desire. He cupped her face in his hands, urged her to come closer. At his touch, her heart jumped for joy. He tasted sweet, like her favorite chocolate dessert, and she was hungry for more. I canât believe it. This is really happening. Danteâs kissing me and itâs perfect, wonderful, the best kiss Iâve ever had.
The idea for Seduced by the Mogul came to me while reading a titillating article about relationships in my favorite magazine. Iâve never written a friends-turned-lovers story but once I âmetâ Dante and Jordana, I knew they were a perfect match. I didnât realize Seduced by the Mogul would be filled with a dramatic, over-the-top proposal and erotic love scenes, but I should have knownâafter all, Dante is a Morretti.
In the dictionary, under the word alpha male should be a full-length picture of Dante Morretti. The real estate mogul is accustomed to calling the shots. But Jordana Sharpe, the Midwest beauty with the effervescent personality and fiery wit, is having none of it. Friendship be damned. It is high time Dante learned to compromise, because if he doesnât change his stubborn ways their fake marriage will be over before it even starts!
Writing Jordana and Danteâs love storyâa passionate, heartwarming tale about two friends who succumb to their desires and the will of their heartsâI was struck by how much Dante adores his son. Matteo is his world, and their incredible bond made me fall in love with them instantly. I hope you do, too.
Hearing from readers is the highlight of my day, so keep the messages coming! I appreciate you, and Iâm humbled by your support. Happy reading.
All the best in life and love,

A special thanks to my bestie, Patrice Virtue. Thank you for being the best friend a girl could ever have! I appreciate you babysitting the kids so I could write (and for treating them like your own), and for making me all those delicious dinners, as well. One day soon, Iâll take you to a Toronto Raptors game so we can cheer on your beloved team (courtside seats. I promise!). One love, Patrice.

The Bombardier Challenger 850 Learjet landed at Los Angeles International Airport with such ease and precision, Dante Morretti didnât realize it was on the ground until he opened his eyes and looked outside the window. The sky was free of clouds, cobalt blue and awash with radiant sunshine. It was another warm, spring day in the City of Angels, and Dante was glad to be home. Though born in Venice, Italy, he loved Los Angeles and would never live anywhere else. Everything heâd ever wanted was in LAâfame, power, prestige. And he was there to stay. At twenty-eight, Dante had a life most men dreamed of, but it wasnât enough. He wanted greater success, more billionaire clients, and he wasnât afraid to work hard for it.
