About the book
The marriage takeover
It should have been the happiest day of Chelsea's life -- but where was her fiance? Only one man could be behind Chelsea's wedding disaster. Paolo Rossetti. He was her family's enemy and, somehow, Chelsea just knew he'd engineered this situation.
Seeing her as a jilted bride was obviously his idea of revenge, but Chelsea would fight back -- and she wouldn't be distracted by Paolo's charm, or the tempting fantasy of standing at the altar once again -- at Paolo's side!
