This was an average, enjoyable enough book. The characters are typical of the foreign billionaire businessman Harlequin story with the autocratic gorgeous Alpha man who meets the independent pretty American woman who challenges him. The plot revolves revolves around the characters and their relationships, no bad guys.Nico de Frenza shows up unannounced in Atlanta at the restaurant where Amanda Davies usually eats lunch. He tells her that her brother has been in a bad car accident and is in the hospital in Italy. Nico' s sister was also in the car and is in a coma. He offers to take her to Italy to be with her brother. He's arranged a leave from work, a service to water her plants and take in her mail, all she needs are her passport and a few essentials. The next thing she knows, she's in Italy via a private jet. They have to dodge the paparazzi to get into the hospital and that's when she finally realizes just how famous Nico and his family are, along with her brother's own fame on the car racing circuit.Nico and Mandy clash over who's at fault and if it matters. He invites her to stay at his villa and supplies her with more clothing. They fight their attraction to each other, but eventually they give in. There are family misunderstandings and language problems and it really looks looks to Mandy's brother like Nico seduced Mandy as revenge for her brother getting his sister pregnant and injured. Many problems to overcome for this couple.Heat factor hot.
