About this ebook
Billionaire Rafael Rocchi always has a woman in his bed, but never in his heart.
Now he needs a suitable wife… Singlehandedly commanding the vast Rocchi empire, the ruthless Italian tycoon is accustomed to absolute control—never messy emotional attachments! Pressured by his traditional mother to finally settle down, Rafael resolves to choose a partner on his own strictly rational terms.
When he meets Cristina, she is an ideal candidate: her plain-Jane looks mean she won’t be tempted to stray—and she’s a virgin! Tender-hearted and trusting, the bubbly London florist has spent years dreaming of true romance—completely unprepared for the raw power of Rafael’s intoxicating seduction!
Swept away by their whirlwind courtship and his breathtaking passion, Cristina joyfully accepts his diamond ring, convinced her handsome husband-to-be must truly love her.
Cristina is devastated to learn that Rafael’s proposal was one of convenience. But whilst Rafael makes it clear their marriage isn’t based on love, he intends for it to be authentic in every other respect…
