From as soon as MELANIE MILBURNE could pick up a pen she knew she wanted to write. It was when she picked up her first Mills & Boon at seventeen that she realised she wanted to write romance. After being distracted for a few years by meeting and marrying her own handsome hero, surgeon husband Steve, and having two boys, plus completing a Masters of Education and becoming a nationally ranked athlete (masters swimming), she decided to write. Five submissions later she sold her first book and is now a multi-published, bestselling and award-winning USA TODAY author. In 2008 she won the Australian Romance Readersâ Associationâs award for most popular category/series romance, and in 2011 she won the prestigious Romance Writers of Australia R*BY award.

To my husband Steve. I dedicate this 50th novel to you for always believing in me, for always encouraging me, for putting up with my highs and lows, for patiently listening on our walks with the dogs about my latest plot and characters, but most of all for just being youâthe most wonderful hero of them all. Love you to pieces. xxx
âWHAT DO YOU MEAN, she wonât sell?â Raffaele Caffarelli frowned at his London-based secretary.
Margaret Irvine turned her palms over in a âdonât blame meâ gesture. âMiss Silverton flatly refused your offer.â
âThen make her a bigger one.â
âI did. She refused that too.â
Rafe drummed his fingers on the desk for a moment. He hadnât been expecting a hiccup like this at this stage. Everything had gone smoothly up until now. Heâd had no trouble acquiring the stately English countryside manor and surrounding land in Oxfordshire for a bargain price. But the dower house was on a separate titleâa minor problem, or so heâd been led to believe by his business manager, as well as the estate agent. The agent had assured him it would be easy enough to acquire the dower house so that the Dalrymple Estate could be whole once more; all he would have to do was to offer well above the market value. Rafe had been generous in his offer. Like the rest of the estate, the place was run down and badly needed a makeover, and he had the money needed to bring it back to its former glory and turn it into a masterpiece of English style and decadence. What was the woman thinking? How could she be in her right mind to turn down an offer as good as his?
He wasnât going to give up on this. He had seen the property listed online and got his business manager, Jamesâwho was going to be fired if this didnât get sorted out soonâto secure it for him.
Failure was not a word anyone would dare to associate with the name Raffaele Caffarelli. He was not going to let a little hurdle like this get in the way of what he wanted. âDo you think this Silverton womanâs somehow found out itâs me whoâs bought Dalrymple Manor?â
âWho knows?â Margaret shrugged. âBut I wouldnât have thought so. Weâve managed to keep the press away from this so far. James handled all the paperwork under cover and I made the offer to Miss Silverton via the agent, as you instructed. You donât know her personally, do you?â
âNo, but Iâve met her type before.â Rafe curled his lip cynically. âOnce she gets a whiff that itâs a wealthy developer after her house, sheâll go for broke. Sheâll try and milk every penny she can out of me.â He let out a short sharp expletive. âI want that property. I want all of that property.â
