They'd been embroiled in a hot, secret affair. Until Lucas Atraeus's and Carla Ambrosi's feuding families were merged by marriage and business. Suddenly the situation was...complicated. Burned by the past, Lucas has never let his heart rule his head. Now, with Carla closer than he had ever imagined she would be, their affair must end.

Saying goodbye to such intense passion is not easy...as he's now Carla's boss.

But even as he sets out to choose an appropriate bride--one who won't break down his guard--Lucas fears he's fighting a losing battle. Sometimes temptation is meant to be seized.
