About the book
"A grand master of seduction... Alessandro Falcone is notorious for winning--in every pursuit. Being forced back to Scotland on business is an inconvenience for the billionaire bachelor, but he'll get in, get what he wants and get out--until the delectable Laura Reid becomes a welcome distraction on the long, cold Highland nights... Laura may be the opposite of the glossy women Alessandro usually favors, but her voluptuous figure and fresh-faced innocence have an allure that make her even more of a challenge. And in the game of seduction--this playboy always wins!"--Page 4 of cover.
