Innocent in the Italian's Possession (2010)
“She tossed her napkin on the table, unwilling to sit here a moment longer with such a ruthless man. Mio Dio, what a nightmare!
“I could care less what you think of me, Miss Cardone.”
She wasn’t surprised for he was surely the most heartless man she’d ever had the displeasure of meeting. “Did you gain great satisfaction stripping my brother of his means to make a living?”
Stefano’s muscular frame tensed, like a large cat waking from a nap and sensing trouble. “Your brother offered the vessel in ...order to remain in the game. If I hadn’t paid his price, someone else would have.”
She knew he was right, but facing the awful truth was crushing. Behind her back Emilio had been living the life of a playboy even though he didn’t have the funds to squander. For how many months had he deceived them all?
Too many, she feared. She truly believed her brother had beaten his addiction over a year ago. But she’d been wrong.
She’d never dreamed he’d lie and hide the truth from her and in the process lose the business their father had worked and died for.MoreLess
