Vengeful Italian

The Vengeful Italian

The Vengeful Italian is a modern day romance. There is love, romance, betrayal, hurt feelings, insecurities, forgiveness, and generally dealing with the obstacles that life puts in your way. It is from both the main characters' point of view.

Ashleigh Gordon is a plain girl. She’s shy and her insecurities are growing, but she has a big heart. Ashleigh is aware of the fact that she isn’t going to turn a man’s head. When rich and powerful Vincenzo Trevino shows interest in her, she is shocked. Vince, the local playboy, has her heart fluttering, her knees weak, and her common sense flying out the window.

Unable to understand Vince’s motives, Ashleigh is cautious at first, but before long, she finds herself falling for him. After a whirlwind courtship, they marry. It is at her wedding reception that she overhears a conversation that is not meant for her ears, although it is a revelation. Her husband, Vince, and his best friend, Charles, are discussing his motives for marrying her. He married her for revenge, for something that he believes she did to his sister—a sister that she never met, nor knows anything about.

Ashleigh is hurt, disillusioned, and very angry. What will she do?

Vincenzo Trevino is a rich and powerful Italian American. Being Italian, family means everything to Vince. When his sister is so hurt by the actions of Ashleigh that she takes her own life, he vows to get even with her. He organizes a meeting and proceeds to woo Ashleigh, make her fall for him, then he will dump her as his sister was dumped by her husband (he believes Ashleigh is the woman that Melissa’s husband ran off with).

However, things don’t work out the way he plans. He falls in love with her and worries about her finding out the real reason for their marriage. What will he do when Ashleigh finds out?
