title: Ready for Seduction
author: Cote, Patricia
description: Patricia Cote steams up the pages in Book 1 of her new Italian Heat series. Marco is rich, hot, Italian, and completely out of her league, but schoolteacher Isabella Barone is falling for him anyway. From New York to Italy, travel with Isabella as she learns about the art of seduction in the land of wine and romance.
  It never occurs to high school teacher Isabella Barone that her secretive neighbor is a runaway Italian grandma with a smoking-hot grandson in pursuit. When Italian businessman Marco Di Stefani shows up in New York to reclaim his beloved nonna, he immediately sets out to seduce the luscious little schoolmarm.
  Isabella’s a little gun-shy about men, but Marco’s the ultimate alpha—he’s staked his claim and wants her in his bed. Now. But after a sizzling night in his arms, Isabella’s sure that she’s nothing more than a one-night stand.
  When Marco invites her on an all-expense-paid vacation to Italy as an honored guest at his Tuscan villa, she’s flattered but a bit wary. Is Marco looking for a repeat of their night of passion? Or is he taking his chances on an independent, high-spirited woman who brings out his hot-blooded, possessive nature?
