He will bed her... Elise Carlton is looking forward to having her freedom. Years as a trophy wife have left her wary. But there is one man to whom she is not immune.... For revenge and for pleasure Vincente Farnese is rich and devastatingly handsome, his own special brand of dark Italian temptation But it is no coincidence that Vincente has sought out Elise. What will she do when she discovers he wants her only for revenge?
This was a surprisingly good story about, for a change, mature man and woman who acted like adults. The woman was not a doormat but a feisty woman who could keep the hero on his toes, and the man wasn't a completely insensitive or cruel jerk. Their emotional ups and downs seem realistic, and how they come to resolve their differences was also realistic. A good story overall.
One Feisty Heroine!

I really enjoy Harlequin Presents overall, however, there are times when an author tells a different type of story. This is one of those times. In Elise's and Vincente's story we see the toughness of a heroine and at moments the weakness of a hero, which is seldom written about in romance novels. The story is very sensual with many touching moments and of course twists and turns as they work out their "happily ever after". Enjoy!
