Poor little Mina returns home to find her fiance in their bed with his twenty-something assistant. She goes to a bar frequented by the employees of his architectural firm, with the fantasy of getting her revenge by picking up some handsome stranger and letting all of his friends see her leave with a hottie.  When she orders a 3rd or 4th drink, the bartender looks at her hesitantly, whereupon she informs him that it's OK because she will be calling a cab, and seeing as how she had just found her fiance with his assistant's legs wrapped around his head, she felt another drink was absolutely necessary.  After announcing that he never did that to her, because she is frigid, she notices a very attractive masculine hand has appeared next to hers.It is none other than the tall, dark and handsome Italian resort magnate, Marco Genovese, whom she had met a month earlier when her boyfriend was making a pitch for a contract to build a golf course for one of Marco's resorts. It seems Marco had fallen for her when he had met her, but had not pursued her because she was in a relaationship. With this no longer being a problem, he sets about proving to Mina that she is not frigid, she was just with the wrong man.I loved this story. I really liked both Mina and her hero, Marco. I love the author's style of writing and will definitely read everything of hers I can find. I guess the only thing I didn't like is a theme I see repeatedly in romance novels. That being, that the heroine sees herself as not being worthy of Mr. Wonderful, so she runs away from him because she is sure he will dump her sooner or later, in spite of his repeated vows to the contrary. I find this a little tiring, because after all, what does she have to lose. She's so afraid of being hurt that she goes ahead and hurts herself and possibly him, too?  In spite of that, I still highly recommend it.
