Italian tycoon Angelo Emiliani wants to buy Anna's French château, but it seems she'll do anything to stop him.
Determined to protect Belle-Eden, she masquerades as a prim estate agent to throw him off the scent. So he'll take Anna captive on his yacht, and show her he's not to be toyed with. Whisking her out to sea, the billionaire intends to isolate the feisty dancer until she yields.
Aboard his luxury vessel, their fierce standoff quickly turns into a battle of wills. Angelo expects easy surrender, but the former ballerina refuses to bow to his command. Every heated glance on the open water brings them closer to the edge.
But as cabin fever sets in, passions erupt, and Anna realizes the price of stopping Angelo has just gotten higher. Now there's more at stake than saving the château—Anna's at risk of losing her virginity, and more!

- Alpha Hero: Driven by childhood scars from an Italian orphanage, Angelo is determined to conquer his feisty hostage—until her quiet vulnerability begins to breach his icy armor.
- Seduction: From a private candlelit picnic on the deserted shores of St Honorat to shared secrets under the stars, every stolen moment chips away at Anna’s defenses.
