The Blackmailed Bridegroom

If Antonio Scarlatti wanted to be CEO of Fortune Productions, he had to marry the boss’s daughter!

At first Antonio refused to give in to such blackmail, but then he reconsidered: would it be so difficult to bed and wed the beautiful Paige, and then divorce her?

But Antonio was unaware that Paige had secretly been in love with him for years—and neither was prepared for the explosion of passion between them…!

Whisking Conrad’s headstrong daughter away on a luxury Hawkesbury River houseboat was supposed to seal Antonio’s ruthless corporate triumph. Bruised and defensive after fleeing a violent ex-boyfriend, Paige refuses to let her old teenage hero worship show. Why risk her fragile pride on a confirmed bachelor who swore never to lose his heart? Yet as sun-drenched days turn into torrid nights on the water, the growing heat between them threatens to shatter all his careful calculations.

• Forced Proximity: Cooped up aboard a honeymoon cruiser equipped just for two, Paige tests Antonio’s iron discipline with sun-deck massages and an impossible gold dress.
• Unrequited Love: Ever since Antonio gallantly met her train at Central Station years ago, Paige harboured dreams of a genuine home—never suspecting her father planned to barter her heart.
• Billionaire Romance: From an impoverished childhood in Rome to commanding television networks across Europe, Antonio built his success on sheer willpower and refuses to let anyone control him.
