Previously entitled: The Sicilian's Proposition and The Sicilian's Secret Sensual Romance by Lynette Rees: perfect for fans of Penny Jordan and Sarah Morgan. Sparks ignite under a hot Sicilian Sun and flame under a festive London snow filled sky... Journalist Joanne Smith encounters Sicilian millionaire Dante Alphonso while conducting an interview for Life Today magazine. Dante has been well known to the media for years, where constant scorn has been thrown upon the playboy lifestyle of his younger years. He detests that reputation as he would much prefer to be known for his charity work for The Children’s Hope and Dream Foundation, an organization he established to help terminally ill children achieve their wishes. Dante has already had his fingers burned by bloodhound journalists, but takes a chance on Joanne, inviting her to his home country to visit his vineyard and meet the Alphonso Family. Things begin to sizzle between them under the Sicilian sun as Joanne embraces their lifestyle. A thorn in the side for Joanne is Dante’s ex, Carla, a strong alpha female whose family owns a rival vineyard in the area. Carla betrayed Dante before, so trusting any woman is difficult for him. However, Joanne has a secret she has kept from Dante, which is stopping her from growing close to him. The secret is revealed after he invites her on board his luxury yacht on the way to the island of Lipari, but circumstances force Joanne back to leaden skies of London on the run up to Christmas. Will she ever see Dante again? Is their love for one another be strong enough to withstand the stormy seas that lie ahead? Or will it get washed up on the shore? *** He stood and set his glass down on the small coffee next to him. “Signorina Smith, if you do not believe what I am saying, how can I put my trust into you?

He wasn’t used to a journalist breaking down the barrier he’d put in place to protect himself. He had travelled all this way, taken valuable time out of his schedule for this? His idea had been to promote the Foundation, an organization he’d set up to fulfill the wishes of very sick children, some of whom may not have long left to live. This woman, this Joanna Smith, was going to do a hatchet job on him, chopping him into little pieces. He stood, ready to make his departure. “Please, Mr. Alphonso, sit back down. What I said wasn’t what you are thinking at all…” “I am sorry. I no longer wish to stay. I have things to do. I am going to book an early flight home.” What he found himself saying was untrue. He didn’t intend to leave yet. Carla was in London, and he intended seeing her tomorrow...
