Summary: Will strike a chord with many...
Review: Darcy feels that she hasn't been blessed with very much. She's not pretty, not charming and not particularly smart. The one thing she has been blessed with is her beloved family home that is, unfortunately, mortgaged to the hilt. To keep it, Darcy must meet the terms of her rich godmother's will requiring her to marry within a year in order to inherit a sum of money. She has to advertise in the paper for a man willing to agree to a marriage of convenience and is shocked when a sexy hunk answers her ad. Darcy thinks he seems familiar and, boy, is she right. A few years earlier, Darcy is left at the altar and takes a trip to Italy to recover. She has a passionate one-night stand with a local man, Gianluca. She sneaks out while he is sleeping afterward and never sees him again. He spends the next few years searching for her, but not because she is the love of his life. Instead, he thinks that Darcy disappeared that night because she slept with him to steal an expensive family heirloom and he is determined to make her pay. When he answers her ad, Darcy doesn't recognize him because of her poor eyesight. It is not until after they're married that she realizes who he is, but she is completely at his mercy because she must stay married for six months to inherit. An emotional tug of war ensues, Gianluca blinded by his wounded pride and Darcy silenced by her low self-esteem. What else could possibly happen before true love triumphs? Quite a bit. Read it and see for yourself.

Summary: Wonderful Story!
Review: I have been a fan of Lynne Graham's for about 2 years now. She is extremely talented. Her stories have a wonderful mix of humor and intensity. I can always count on her stories to give me a great escape. She spins a beautiful fantasy and makes the impossible seem plauseable. I love her and I highly recommend any of her books. Especially " Bond of Hatred","Trophy Husband", "Heat of Passion" & "Savage Betrayal"
