A game of seduction
Tatiyana Washington will do whatever it takes to right a wrong for her beloved sister...even if it means deceiving one of LA’s most celebrated attorneys. Flirting with elegant, sexy Markos Morretti on a Florida-bound plane is the first step. The irresistible Italian plays right into her hands when he invites her to be his guest at a celebrity-studded charity golf tournament. Spending a sizzling weekend together is a perk Tatiyana didn’t expect. Too bad it can never lead to anything permanent.
The wealthy Hollywood divorce lawyer splits couples up for a living. Yet once he meets Tatiyana, all Markos wants is to lavish her with all his passion. And once he discovers they have met under false pretenses, he only desires her more. Markos vows that two can play at this game, until a brewing political scandal threatens to make his career ambitions crash and burn. Faced with an impossible decision, will he choose the promise of love?
“Are you planning a trip to Italy in the near future?” Markos asked.
To his surprise, she didn’t acknowledge him or respond to his question.
“I’m Markos Morretti.”
Tatiyana stared at his outstretched hand as if it was covered in germs and raised her book into the air.
“I don’t mean to be rude, Mr. Morretti, but as you can see, I’m very busy.”
“I deserve that. I was rude earlier, wasn’t I?”
“Yes,” she replied, vigorously nodding her head. “You were.”
“I’m sorry. I’m working on an important deposition, and sometimes when I get caught up in a case, I lose sight of everything else.”
“Then why are you wasting your precious time talking to me?”
“Spending time with a vivacious woman is never a waste of time,” he said smoothly. “And I’m curious to hear about your trip to Italy.”
“Why? Do you moonlight as a travel guide when you’re not in court?”
“I do for beauties with freckles.”
His heart inflated with pride when Tatiyana laughed.
You asked for Markos Morretti’s story, and here it is! The smart, debonair attorney doesn’t do relationships or believe in true love, but his feelings for Tatiyana Washington—the wisecracking beauty with the big personality and outrageous sense of humor—can’t be denied. And Markos will do anything, including hiring her to be his receptionist, to get close to her.
Burned by love in the past, Tatiyana wants nothing to do with the opposite sex, but Markos breaks down her walls, one slow, sensuous kiss at a time. The odds are against them, but Markos proves that he can be trusted with her heart.
Look for the final book in the Morretti Millionaires series coming soon. Thank you, reader-friends, for your constant encouragement and support. There’s no me without you!
All the best in life and love,
