The Heat of Passion

A widow needs the help of a former flame, but his assistance comes with strings attached in this classic romance by a USA Today–bestselling author.

Six years ago, Jessica made a decision that would change her life forever. The prospect of being the wealthy Carlo Saracini’s mistress was too hot for her to handle, so she opted for the safety of marriage to another man.

But now Jessica is a widow and faced with the unthinkable: she needs Carlo’s help or her father will go to jail!

Carlo proposes a deal that will give him what he’s always wanted—Jessica at his mercy and naked in his bed! But letting Carlo possess her body and soul will be to give him the ultimate revenge and reveal her innocence . . .
