About the book
He'd bargained on a bride, but not on a baby! Arlene Russell may be naive and vulnerable, but she's more than a match for arrogant Italian Domenico Silvaggio d'Avalos. Arlene refuses to become Domenico's mistress. Though her business is in trouble, she won't be bought! But Domenico is determined to make Arlene his convenient bride. Especially when she gives him a Christmas gift greater than money could buy!
Srsly, it's NOT about her being "pregnant" The book has no prologue, no epilogue and only 12 chapters, 11 of them don't even whisper "pregnant" The same with the concept of "bride" Oh, and her goal was to become his mistress, even if only for a weekend. ugh! Bad blurb, bad, bad blurb! The blurb is useless. It's a good read, low angst, it's on my 'sweet' side -s
