Temptation in Tuscany (European Contemporary Romance) (Volume 2) Anna Pagram 1. izdevums

European Contemporary Romance Series Book 2 This action-packed modern romance blossoms in the simmering heat of an Italian summer. The heroine is 26 year-old Saskia Grainger, a fiercely independent and talented businesswoman and artist. The action moves between the glorious city of Florence and the more tranquil area surrounding Lake Trasimeno in Umbria, and involves theft, intrigue and a burgeoning passion. The sudden death of her fiancé two years previously has left Saskia in relationship limbo. She is emphatic that she is not interested in intimate relationships - that is, until one hot June day, when a stranger with eyes of sharp sapphire enters her shop ? and her life ? with dramatic and far-reaching consequences. He is Nico Calver, a tall and darkly charismatic entrepreneur. However, despite an immediate and electric surge of attraction between Saskia and Nico, a series of coincidences, misunderstandings and downright criminal events conspire to keep them apart. And just why is the painting, Signora Bellandini, so important to so many people? Saskia is determined to resist surrendering to Nico?s ruthless charms, and is equally decided that he is not to be trusted in any way, shape or form. His rejection of the tenderness of love and her tendency to jump to rapid conclusions provide a potent and headily antagonistic mix. Will this jeopardise their chances of ever forging a meaningful relationship, despite the overwhelming magnetic forces that seem inexorably to be drawing them together? Read on, and find out ??.
