About this ebook

Things are heating up under this blue collar…Gisele Hornsby can’t believe her good fortune when she’s invited to attend the royal wedding of Prince Luca of Monaforte with her brother Parker. And she’s elated when she finds herself cozying up to Luca’s charming and very hot royal cousin, Tomasso Romeo. Until she learns he’s a cowardly commitment-phobe, and she decides she wants nothing more to do with a man who shuns simple friendship with another woman for fear of what might happen that could tie him down.

Tomasso Romeo’s in need of a change. Tired of following the dreams of his father toiling in the family wine business in Tuscany, he realizes he’s happiest when working with his hands, and heads off for New York to apprentice with a famed woodworker who helped to build his family’s lavish corporate headquarters, a stunning tribute to craftsmanship and now a popular tourist destination. 

When Parker takes a sabbatical in Italy to be with Tomasso’s sister, he persuades Tomasso to move into the Manhattan brownstone in his place to keep watch over his beloved little sister. But Gisele is none too pleased with her brother’s unwelcome meddling, and decides her new roommate has got to go. Before she remembers how much she’d like nothing more than to have him stay.

Ratings and reviews

This is a fun book that I just loved. It's sweet, charming, and just a bit naughty. Gisele attends a royal wedding in Monaforte with her brother. They're given a castle apartment to stay in during the festivities and during one of the pre-wedding events Gisele met Tomasso. They have an instant attraction with sparks flying so brightly they could have lit my kindle. Unfortunately, Tomasso pushed Gisele away and she is very hurt. Some time later, Gisele's brother found a way to push them together without telling either of them what he was doing. Once more, my kindle began to sizzle from the attraction between them. If you enjoy romance with a touch of royalty, you will love this book. It's a fun novel that hooked me from the very first page and made me sorry when it ended. While it is part of a series, this is a stand alone book. However, it's so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all.
