Tempted to the Billionaire's Bed

2023

Sparks fly in this secret, forbidden, no-strings romance… He pushed out of his shirt, eyes fixed on her. “Who hurt you?” She stared at his bare chest, heart racing. “What?” “You said you’re still getting over it. Who was it?” “Marco—,” “I’m asking because it occurs to me that what we’re doing now is linked to what he did to you then. That you’re using me to get over him, maybe to get back at him. That makes sense. But isn’t honesty part of our pact?” “Actually, I think the only thing we agreed explicitly to be honest about was when we want to end it…” “So you're not going to tell me?” “No,” she admitted unevenly. Portia Mason's world came crashing down when she caught her fiancé in bed with another woman. But when her boss' devilishly handsome brother offers her a chance at a no-strings-attached fling, she can't resist. She's not ready for love, but she's definitely up for some sinfully hot fun. Marco has a reputation as a billionaire playboy, and he's never been interested in anything more than a short-term fling. But when he meets Portia, he can't resist the challenge of breaking down her walls and igniting her passion. He's not looking for commitment, but he can't deny the chemistry between them. If you're a fan of forbidden romances with a touch of brother's best friend drama, you won't be able to resist Marco and Portia's steamy story. And who doesn't love seeing a woman get the ultimate revenge by finding her own happily ever after? This standalone contemporary romance is the first book in the Italian Rivals series, and it's guaranteed to leave you breathless.

For all things Clare Connelly, please see www.clareconnelly.co.uk, the official home of Clare Connelly on the web. Clare Connelly grew up in a small country town in Australia. Surrounded by rainforests, and rickety old timber houses, magic was thick in the air, and stories and storytelling were a huge part of her childhood. From early on in life, Clare realised her favourite books were romance stories, and read voraciously. Anything from Jane Austen to Georgette Heyer, to Mills & Boon and (more recently) 50 Shades, Clare is a romance devotee. She first turned her hand to penning a novel at fifteen (if memory serves, it was something about a glamorous fashion model who fell foul of a high-end designer. Sparks flew, clothes flew faster, and love was born.) Clare has a small family and a bungalow near the sea. When she isn't chasing after energetic little toddlers, or wiping fingerprints off furniture, she's writing, thinking about writing, or wishing she were writing.
