What it feels like
Reading this classic romance feels like stepping into a sun-drenched, mid-century film where the dialogue is as sharp as the glamorous setting is intoxicating. The narrative moves at a brisk, breezy clip, driven entirely by the crackling friction between a fiercely determined professional and a delightfully infuriating cynic. It is an escapist fantasy that thrives on the delicious tension of opposites clashing, wrapping the reader in a world of noisy villa parties and quiet, stolen moments of vulnerability. The prose is straightforward and heavily reliant on snappy, theatrical banter, making it a perfect, popcorn-read indulgence. It will thoroughly delight fans of vintage category romance who love watching a rakish hero's carefully constructed walls crumble before a heroine who refuses to put up with his nonsense.

About the book
Her assignment was glamorous but tough.
The man Robyn was sent to work with was the disreputable playboy author, Bradley Dexter--a man whose scandalous life-style and cynical attitude she despised.
However, Robyn wasn't easily deterred. She ignored the noisy parties and exotic women at Brad's villa and set determinedly to work.
Making Bradley concentrate on his manuscript required the most devious tactics--and Robyn pretended to be as jaded as he was. But falling in love with this outrageous man was never part of her plan!
