Prince Nicolo Barbieri is in New York ready to take over the Stafford -- Coleridge -- Black Bank when he literally bumps into one of the rudest women he has ever met. Realizing things are different than in his native Rome, he still remains stirred by the incident. Not in the way he expected though. He can't think of anything but her. Even going out with his best friends to their trendy new club seems to pale in comparison to the memory of her. That is until he sees her there. The night was passionate, and the girl mysterious --or not.

Aimee Black, granddaughter of the Manhattan bank tycoon, is hardly impressed with the pompous, rich prince. Even less so when her grandfather arranges for her to marry him in order to keep the bank in the family. Pre-arranged marriages are a thing of the past, but Aimee did have a past night of passion with the tall, dark, and handsome prince "charming". The night she got pregnant. Was this all a set up?

This may be a marriage of convenience, but there is not going to be a merger of the family if Amiee has anything to do with it. Convinced that the prince is no "charming", what is it going to take Nicolo to do the right thing?

Passion with a plot! I love it. Kudos to Ms. Marton for getting it right. It's great to read a romantic story with some substance. The plot is endearing. It was one of those books that I couldn't put down till I devoured it all. Excellent read!!!!
