The Passionate Italian

Passion wasn't high on Rose's agenda growing up in poverty: survival was, independence was, but not the crazy, elemental passion that she'd found with Giovanni Visconti. But, after a year together, the passion had twisted into jealousy and control and Rose had disappeared-seemingly unable to deal with her husband's passionate nature.But, two years later, Giovanni tracks Rose down. He's discovered something that makes him realize that there was more to Rose's departure than he'd first thought, and he's determined to control his jealous passions in order to prove to his wife that she can trust him. But Rose is keeping secrets from him-secrets with the potential to destroy more than just their relationship...-Italian Romance-The Italian's Perfect LoverSeduced by the ItalianThe Passionate ItalianAn Accidental Christmas-Desert Kings-Wanted: A Wife for the SheikhThe Sheikh's Bargain BrideThe Sheikh's Lost LoverAwakened by the SheikhClaimed by the SheikhWanted: A Baby by the Sheikh-Sheikhs of Havilah-The Sheikh's Secret BabyBought by the SheikhThe Sheikh's Forbidden LoverSurrender to the SheikhTaken for the Sheikh's Harem-Secrets of the Sheikh-The Sheikh's Revenge by SeductionThe Sheikh's Secret Love ChildThe Sheikh's Marriage Trap I write emotional, heartwarming romances with stories which make you turn the pages, and characters who feel real-whether they be sheikhs, British billionaires, medieval knights or everyday people whose lives are usually far from everyday (at least in my books).I'm an avid people watcher, hopeless romantic and dreamer who spends far too much time gazing out the window, imagining scenes where people struggle with life and emotions but always end up happily. Because, yes, I'm also an eternal optimist!I live in beautiful New Zealand, just north of Wellington in a small village by the sea. It's here, in a sunny window seat overlooking the hills and trees, that I write my books.Wherever you are in the world, welcome to my little corner, where I sit with my two cocker spaniels snoring gently beside me, creating worlds where people struggle with life and emotions but are always rewarded with love and happiness in the end. Because that's non negotiable! Italy... the land of romance. From Milan and the Italian lakes in the north, through Tuscany down to Naples, one thing remains constant-the beauty of the land and the passion of its people. Lose yourself in Italian romance...
