What was he going to do with Angelina?
Dominic Moretti knew he could fire his secretary--he was certainly within his rights to do so. What he really wanted, he realized, was to make her...pay.
Revenge wasn't a noble trait, but she'd stolen from him. And he still didn't know why. All the time he'd trusted her, all the time he'd been fighting his attraction to her, she'd been plotting with his enemy. Yet now he held all the cards. He could do whatever he wanted with Angelina. And he wanted her to be his...completely.
And now he had the means to make that happen.
Hero: Dominic Moretti
Heroine: Angelina DeLuca
Excerpt
"Dominic smiled back at her. He'd be interested in his pretty secretary, if it weren't for his family's curse.
A curse that promised that each generation of Morettis would be either lucky in love or lucky in business, but never in both.
Lorenzo Moretti, Dominic's grandfather, had been very lucky in business but had died a bitter old man. Dominic's father Giovanni had been and still was very lucky in love. He and Dominic's mother shared a love that was deep and abiding.
And now his brothers were screwing things up for their generation despite the blood vow they'd all taken in their teens. They had promised each other they would be the generation of Morettis to take back the proud name that had once been revered on both the Grand Prix track and in the world of luxury sports cars.
He lived in Milan but traveled the world entertaining guests at Team Moretti's VIP rooms at all of the Formula 1 Grand Prix races. As the CEO of Moretti Motors he was currently overseeing the launch of a revamped model of their 1970s classic Vallerio Roadster.
The car had been named for one of the fastest F1 drivers ever. Lorenzo Moretti's best friend, Pierre-Henri Vallerio."
