About the book
For better, for worse -- for revenge...
Rome d'Angelo could have his pick of women -- only, his fiancee had already been chosen for him, by his grandfather! A family feud meant Rome was being forced into a vengeful seduction: he must get engaged to Cory Grant, then jilt her....
Heiress Cory was used to men wanting her for her money. But Rome seemed genuinely interested in her -- was this the real thing? Rome was amazed to realize he found Cory's innocence so sexy. Maybe instead of jilting her, he should marry her!
