    About this ebook

    Enrico DiRinaldi still wants a wife and children, even though an accident has left him unable to walk. So he proposes a marriage of convenience to Gianna Lakewood. Having always longed for a baby herself - and having secretly loved Rico since she was a teenager - Gianna can't say no...

    The passion Rico ignites in his innocent bride leaves her breathless. But when she realizes that Rico's full recovery from his injuries is imminent, and his beautiful ex-fiancee is waiting in the wings, Gianna is sure he won't want her any more. So why is Rico so intent on keeping his convenient wife by his side?

      Good unrequited love story. It's very reminiscent of older Harlequin Presents style which I really enjoyed.
    • 5/5
      I enjoyed every minute. It had an unexpected and almost fresh plot line and very enjoyable. ?
    • 3/5
      I like this author but this is not one of her best. I wasn’t a fan of the hero, and the heroine was too much of a pushover. More so than this author usually writes.

      A tragic accident put Enrico (Rico) DiRinaldi into a coma. His brother had no way of contacting their parents, and it would take Andre DiRinaldi many hours to reach him. Calling long time family friend Gianna (Gia) Lakewood was the easiest way to make sure someone was with Rico in the hospital. Gia never waited to find out what had happened, she heard that Rico was in need so she jumped in her car and made the 2 hour drive to New York as quick as she could. Finding out that Rico's fiancé had only stayed for a short time angered her, Gia was determined to stay by his side till he woke from his coma. For 5 long days, Gia held his hand and encouraged him to return, she spoke of her love for him and knowing that once he woke he would want his beautiful super-model fiancé instead of her made no difference, she loved him enough to want him to wake up anyway. After waking to find that his fiancé was not the person he needed most, Rico asked Gia to marry him, she had always loved him so Gia couldn't say no. The reason for the marriage is what Gia was questioning.The innocence of Gia is so heartwarming, it was easy to connect with her. The whole family was easy to connect with, even Rico - after he dumped the super-model. I enjoyed having a villain in this one that was so easy to hate. The pride of Rico, the break down of that pride for the woman he married and the realistic effect that things said and done had on Gia were great. The sorrow, longing and even the acceptance she felt for and around Rico were well done - not teary eyed over it, but I could feel it.

      Rico stole my heart. This man was such a powerful character and oozed sexual charm. Waiting, waiting was Gia whose love ran so pure and deep. This was an incredible love story, one I read more than once.
