About the book

"Romy Salisbury was everything he despised in a woman"

Dominic smiled--a cold smile--as his mind lingered on the pleasure and the retribution he was going to exact in the next few days.

He had waited five years for his moment and now it was here. It was high time that he settled the score with the delicious Miss Romy Salisbury.
