Interesting.Ĭristiano took a sip of wine. At the last second, she expertly turned her head and his kiss landed on her cheek. Spoiled and shallow, nothing more than beautiful exteriors with empty souls. So what if she was beautiful, so what if she seemed to possess a hint of vulnerability that intrigued him? Because surely it was an act.
No matter who he had to destroy.Īntonella laughed, the sound light and bubbly. He intended to make it permanent, no matter the personal cost. One random bomb from an extremist group, and even that fragile peace would be in jeopardy. There was currently a ceasefire, but it was tentative.

Once he gained control of their government and deposed the Romanellis, children from both nations would grow up happy and free instead of living in fear of bombs and bullets. A chance to crush Monteverde into submission once and for all. He needed her pliable, not bristling with indignation.Ĭristiano’s fingers tightened on the stem of the wine glass he held. He had the means to keep her in designer gowns and expensive spa treatments, yet he’d nearly blown the whole game with his visceral reaction to her on deck. Antonella was a woman of expensive tastes and a dwindling bank account. He’d counted on that indifference to help him gain what he wanted. What kind of son did that? What kind of daughter flitted around the world, taking and discarding lovers, seemingly indifferent to her family’s excesses? Paolo Romanelli had been an egomaniacal despot. Countless people would have lived instead of dying senseless, bloody deaths. He had to remember that without the Romanellis, peace would have come to Monterosso and Monteverde many years ago. He’d come prepared for battle, certain he was more than ready for it, and been felled by a lightning strike to his gut. When she’d turned to him outside her cabin door, he’d felt as if a weight had settled on his chest and wouldn’t lift. She had a voice that reminded him of a hidden spring, sweet and pure until she poured on the honey, and a sensual way of moving that made a man’s mind turn to more elemental matters. He’d seen photos of her, but nothing had actually prepared him for the impact of her physical beauty. With her sooty fall of hair, generous cleavage, and sharp sense of self-awareness, Princess Antonella was the kind of woman who lit up a room simply by entering it. She wore an ivory silk gown that clung to her body like a sleeve and displayed her breasts to perfection. Vega basked in her lovely glow like a man showing off a prized possession. Cristiano sat at the polished mahogany table, directly across from Antonella Romanelli, and watched as she directed all her attention on Raúl Vega.
