The Darling Buds of May Cafe Books

In the wake of her beloved father's death, Rosie Darling is miserable. Just when she's starting to process the sudden loss and pick up the threads of her life, she meets a man who could change everything. She is certainly not looking for romance, but Luca Abramo is brooding, mysterious and devastatingly attractive. Though she senses there is a darkness to him, she is powerless to resist the overwhelming current of desire that flows between them. Every moment she spends with him, she loses a little more of herself, and the ability to walk away is no longer something she can take for granted. Luca Abramo prides himself on his ability to remain detached; from the billion dollar empire he controls to the glamorous women he beds, his life is about only what serves him. He controls every aspect of his existence to avoid messy entanglements. Then, he meets Rosie and realises it is possible to want more; to open himself up to the possibility of actually needing someone. But will a single decision he made more than a decade earlier have the power to unravel their dark attraction? Or will he be able to prevent Rosie from discovering the truth?

Her job was to make him hit on her, so the agency's photographer could get proof of his infidelity. One incriminating photograph, and then she could walk away. Only walking away isn't as easy as she'd anticipated. One night of intense passion leaves Maggie with a host of memories... and nine months later, a baby she intends to keep secret from the man of her dreams. Dante thought he'd met someone special, but it turned out the sexy redhead had made a calculated play at seducing him purely because it was her job to do so. And he'd fallen for it, hook, line and sinker. When he runs into her again, two years later, sparks fly. He's angry, but he's also still passionately, obsessively in lust with her. When he discovers the baby she's kept secret, he is furious. How can he ever forgive her for what she's robbed him of? How can he raise a child with her, knowing how deceitful she is? And how can he still want her when he hates her so much?
