‘I play by the rules, but they’re my rules.’

Poppy Silverton is as untouched as the leafy English village where she runs a tearoom. But her home, her livelihood and her innocence are under threat… Rafe Caffarelli is a mouth-watering specimen of Mediterranean manhood. He’s a playboy billionaire and determined to buy Poppy’s historic dower house. Poppy will not give up the only thing that remains of her childhood and family. She’ll fight Rafe – and her attraction to him – all the way. And be the first woman to say no to a Caffarelli!

‘Strong, passionate characters and a sizzling tension throughout. A must read!’
