Back Cover:
Lana Whittaker had been clueless about her husband's affair. Until his tragic death— leaving his mistress clinging to life, their unborn child's future hanging in the balance. And the most shocking: Lana was left penniless, homeless and the guardian of the baby. So when a stranger, a darkly handsome millionaire businessman, offered help, she had to accept. Raffaele Rossellini blamed Lana, that ice-cold blonde, for the loss of his beloved sister. But he'd see to it that she lost, too—everything she held dear. Including the man she'd come to love—himself.

My Review:
The hero was a fool to believe a skeezy man sleeping with two women at the same time (and constantly borrowing money) over a grieving sobbing widow, he should believe the widow and not blame her. The scene where the hero first hugs the heroine and then a sexual charge comes between them and he ends up tumbling her down onto bed... it was intense. I liked that the hero was very emotionally affected, he cried. The heroine had fertility problems, it would have been nice to see her get pregnant a few years down the line in an Epilogue. I liked how the hero and heroine ended up in bed together to comfort each other, and how he insisted on moving her into his bedroom because he wanted her there next to him, he didn't want to go searching for her at nights and "sneak" into her bed. I liked that they filled a hole in each other, they both needed the other in their life.
My Rating: 3.5/5 stars, I'd give it a four, but the hero was silly to believe the heroine's cheating husband's lies.
