Love at first kiss?
As one of Italy’s most powerful businessmen, Romeo Morretti spends his days brokering multimillion-dollar deals and his nights romancing Europe’s most beautiful women. But a chance encounter at a busy intersection sends the international playboy’s life hurling in a new direction. The desire that ignites between Romeo and lush Caribbean beauty Zoe Smith is impossible to resist. Their intimate display becomes public under Milan’s bright Christmas lights when a blog leaks their secret affair and they’re touted as the city’s newest celebrity couple.
Between glittering A-list events and candlelit dinners at Romeo’s villa, Zoe is living a life of glamour and endless pleasure alongside the dangerously handsome tycoon. Their high-profile holiday romance could even save her PR job at prestigious fashion house Casa Di Moda. Until secrets and lies threaten their passionate bond. Amid doubt and distrust, Romeo is accused of a crime that endangers his financial empire. He will have to fight to clear his name before they can share a future under the mistletoe...
For some strange reason, Romeo made her heart race and her temperature soar. Zoe wanted him gone, far away from her, before she embarrassed herself.
“Come on, Zoe, don’t leave me in suspense. I need the 411 on you.”
“If you must know, I’m the PR director at Casa Di Moda.”
Nodding, he snapped his fingers. “I should have known you worked in the fashion industry,” he said, his gaze sliding down her physique. “You’re stunning and you have a great sense of style, not to mention a unique, eye-catching look.”
Zoe didn’t respond, searched the streets once again for a taxicab. Romeo was buttering her up, trying to sweet-talk her because he felt guilty about the accident, but it wasn’t going to work. Immune to his charms, she wanted nothing to do with him, and gave him her back.
Undeterred, Romeo stepped forward, moved in so close Zoe could smell his minty-fresh breath. Her mind went blank, and her head spun.
One summer evening, while bike riding with my children, a distracted driver struck my five-year-old son with her car. Within minutes, the police and paramedics arrived on the scene and quickly assessed my son. Thankfully, he had no injuries, and the driver apologized profusely for the accident. I used this real-life experience as the opening scene for Seduced by the Tycoon at Christmas. From the moment Romeo Morretti and Zoe Smith meet, sparks ignite.
Consumed with guilt, Romeo will do anything to prove to Zoe he’s a stand-up guy who made a mistake, but the headstrong PR director won’t give him the time of day. To win her over, he pursues her relentlessly. Of course he does. He’s a Morretti millionaire; charming is his middle name!
I hope you enjoyed reading the eighth book in The Morretti Millionaires series as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thank you for your support and encouragement over the past ten years. I am deeply grateful.
All the best in life and love,
Pamela Yaye
