    About this ebook



    Allesandro di Vincenzo is a perfect male specimen. There's no woman he can't have--until Laura Stowe crosses his path.

    Laura is plain, poor and hides behind her homely appearance to avoid getting close to people.

    But Allesandro needs her family connections to open the door to ultimate corporate power. So he must woo the ugly duckling into his bed-where she will learn what it is to be a beautiful, desired swan.

    Julia James

    Mills & Boon novels were Julia James’ first “grown up” books she read as a teenager, and she's been reading them ever since. She adores the Mediterranean and the English countryside in all its seasons, and is fascinated by all things historical, from castles to cottages. In between writing she enjoys walking, gardening, needlework and baking “extremely gooey chocolate cakes” and trying to stay fit! Julia lives in England with her family.

      I've never reviewed a book, but this was too good to pass. I've read many but this is definitely up there among the best
    • 1/5
      Horrible book. The heroine was a bitter mean spirited women. To a certain extend you can understand her pain but it gets old and exhausting quick.
    • 3/5
      Difficult to believe the transformation of the ugly duckling and for the prince to fall in love with her. Hmmmmmmm...

      Very different from all the others I've read. I really like it. Alpha male? Yes. There was also very good reasoning behind the actions of each characters.
