What it feels like

Reading this classic category romance feels like stepping into a tempest of high-stakes emotion and undeniable chemistry. The pacing is brisk and breathless, pulling you through a landscape of forgotten memories and fierce maternal devotion. It thrives on the delicious tension of unequal power dynamics, contrasting a fiercely protective, dominant hero with a heroine fighting to reclaim her identity and autonomy. The mood is unapologetically angsty and melodramatic, wrapped in highly emotive prose that relies on sharp dialogue and passionate declarations rather than quiet introspection. It is a perfect escape for readers who love the vintage thrill of secret babies, second chances, and the explosive collision of two stubborn hearts finding their way back to each other against all odds.

About the book

Once his mistress... now his bride!

After three long years Gianni D'Angelo has found his Angel, Milly Henner! However, Milly, 26, doesn't remember Gianni, or what she was to him. All she knows is that she was found after a hit-and-run accident, pregnant and with her memory gone.

Gianni, 32, has the difficult task of convincing her that, once, she loved him. But Milly is horrified when she learns that she was a wealthy Sicilian's mistress... and now he's claiming her little boy as his son! Gianni is not deterred; he wants Milly back and to be a father to Connor, and his solution is simple, marriage!
