Sicily, Italy – Present Day

A year ago, Mia Marini was set to marry wealthy businessman Luca Cavallaro, but on her wedding day, while she was waiting for him to arrive at the church, she learned that he had broken off their engagement and had flown out of Sicily. Mia is being used as collateral by her father in marriage, first to Luca, and now to another man. Mia is part of a deal for a man—any man—to take over her father’s business and marry her. But Mia is not in love with her new fiancé. One night at a party, she runs into Luca again. They huff and snarl at one another. Turns out Luca found out a week before they were to marry that her father’s business was billions of dollars in debt. Definitely not a good business model to take on companies on the brink of bankruptcy. But Mia is not aware of this. Despite their broken engagement, both remember the sizzling attraction they had for each other. All Luca wants is one night with Mia in his bed. Will she accept this outrageous offer?

Most readers would probably think that Mia doesn’t take up Luca’s offer. But as she heads into a loveless marriage where she is expected to produce children, she wants a chance to experience the passion that was simmering below the surface during her brief engagement to Luca. There is an agreement with her current fiancé that they can sleep with others up until they marry so sleeping with Luca wouldn’t break any promises. In THE SICILIAN’S DEAL FOR “I DO”, will one night be enough? I can guarantee you that this tale provides plenty of searing heat as the explosive passion is ignited between Luca and Mia. But Luca believes that Mia knows her father’s company is nearly bankrupt. After all, her parents continue to live a lavish lifestyle. Mia is their future meal ticket. How will she react when she learns the truth? All her life she has been told to be grateful to them because she was adopted by them after her parents tragically died. Will she turn her back on them?

Luca is hardened by the way he grew up from nothing to achieving financial success. He hadn’t planned to marry except when he met Mia and along with the offer to take over her father’s company, agreed to marry her. Will he regret not marrying her? Is there love in the air between Luca and Mia? This might mean disappointing her parents but does love overcome all the odds? Find out the sizzling answer by grabbing a copy of THE SICILIAN’S DEAL FOR “I DO”.
