About the book
Seduced by Innocence
Terri Wainwright's ice-princess facade hid a depth of passion that no man had ever touched—but that Maurizio Vanzani could set afire with a look from his intense eyes. Still, Terri had no time to get involved with any man. She had come to Venice to find her missing brother—and to meet her long-lost mother.
But Maurizio wouldn't be ignored, and soon Terri found herself caring for the enigmatic stranger who seemed caught up in his dark quest for revenge. But what part did Terri play in his scheme and would the price she paid be her heart?
