From the back-cover:
Italian tyccon Luciano De Santis is breathtaking in every way: he whas power, success--and a devastating effect on women. Now Luc needs a bride and he's decided that ordinary Lizzy Hadley will be his wife! He's set his trap and blackmailed her, and he knows she can't refuse him. But there's one condition Luc fails to mention as his wife, Lizzy must produce an heir!

The story began with Lizzy was attending Bianca's engagement party, and the groom-to-be was Luc De Santis, whom she'd met several times but never talked to. Lizzy and Bianca are best friends since they were in school, however they were from different back ground & character. Lizzy was a shy and sensible girl from a middle-class English family whose mother left her since she was a child, while Bianca was the spoilt girl of a wealthy Italian family.

From the moment that Lizzy met Luc, she was attracted to him phisically but denied her own feelings because she valued Bianca's friendship very much. Thefefore, she decided to avoid him as much as she can.

A day after the engagement party, Bianca eloped with Lizzy's brother, Matthew, who was Bianca's sweetheart and lover before. Lizzy was stucked with the responsibility of delivering Bianca's letter to Luc. Without a bride for his upcoming wedding, Luc had to blackmail Lizzy!

It's good to see Ms Reid back again after such a long time, I've always loved her writing style, very detail and unpredictable, also full of passion and tension.

Hope to see your other story soon, Ms Reid!

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I read the preview on the 1st page of the book. I was saying to myself: oh,no! Lets hope that a brute does not take advantage of a young vulnerable woman by blackmailing marriage where it includes seducing a innocent virgin and intending to get her pregnant at any mean! Luciano De Santis a billionaire tycoon who blackmailed Lizzy Hadley into a marriage. Regardless that, he treated her like a perfect gentleman. He actually made sure that she actually consented to their wedding night. Luciano was betrothed to Lizzy's bestfriend Bianca who comes from a wealthy Italian family. Bianca and Lizzy's brother whom are former childhood sweethearts eloped together- so it appeared. And why after the engagement party? What got me ticking is that if Luciano was deperate to replace Bianca- why choose Lizzy to fill the gap and not anyone else? Surely other people owe him money as well! Lizzy's family business was struggling when all the money from the business account was withdrawn. You ask yourself, did her father do that or her brother? And what could be the actual motive for this. The journalists were constantly on their backs including a female journalist who Luciano knows. You ask youself, why is she fishing for a story- is it because she's a journalist, or out of jealousy or to distract another story? This story is full of suspense and you feel motivated to finish reading the entire book and make sense of the incidents.

I'm not going to summarise the story, as the prev reviewer has already done this, but it really felt that the book was written for the sake of filling a gap, given that her last book was several months ago. The leads had seen each other a couple of times, and apparently Luc instantly fell for Lizzie, stopped having sex with his fiancee, Bianca, Lizzie's rich best friend - though neither had made a move towards each other, and he seemingly accepted that Bianca had started sleeping with other guys - yet he was still going to go ahead and marry her. Lizzie is impoverished, to a degree that Bianca has to pay for her flight and even supply clothes, shoes and make-up for Lizzie to be able to attend the wedding. Anyway, the bride elopes a few days before the wedding, her parents cannot face Luc and so send Lizzie to break the news. He holds her captive and insists that she must marry him, as, conveniently, her father's company is going under, and her brother has embezzled from the same. And of course, he's so rich and powerful that he manages to convince her father's bankers to give him the bank stmts!! Hmmm...too contrived, and this has made me decide that Michelle Reid will no longer be an auto-buy for me. Tried to sell it cheaply on ebay, but no takers!!
