Awoken To Pleasure: Tamed by the Italian [Creoles And Pidgins]

By Jamaar Brooks

She was his temporary secretary. He was her married boss. Now, one rainy night changes everything.

Talia Reid has never wanted anything from Kael Santorini except a paycheck and basic respect. The fiercely independent temp has spent years building walls around her heart, raising her younger brother alone, and running from the scars of a traumatic past. She certainly doesn't want the complication of a man especially not her darkly gorgeous, impossibly powerful ex-boss.

Kael Santorini remembers every sharp word and unexpected laugh from the only woman who ever made him feel hope. Trapped in a loveless marriage to a woman who won't grant him a divorce, he let Talia walk away. But now he's free, and when fate strands her in his car on a stormy night, he refuses to let her disappear again.

When Talia reveals she's fighting to keep custody of her brother from an abusive stepfather, Kael makes her an offer she can't refuse: marry him. In exchange for his name and protection, she'll give him the one thing his cruel first wife took away a child.

But as Kael's fierce tenderness begins to heal Talia's deepest wounds, and her fiery spirit awakens the passion he thought long dead, their convenient bargain ignites into something far more dangerous. Can a woman who has never trusted a man surrender her heart to one who has sworn never to love again?

Awoken To Pleasure is a full-length contemporary romance about two broken souls who discover that the greatest risk isn't falling into bed, it's falling in love.
