       ‘You are playing with fire, Dr Chapman.’

      Hannah gave a wry smile. ‘I’m trained to treat burns.’

      ‘Not the kind you will get from me. You’ll have to find another man to do the job. I’m not for hire.’

      She tilted her head to the side. ‘Do I scare you?’

      ‘On the contrary. It is you who should be afraid of me.’

      ‘But I’m not scared of you. I don’t care about your reputation. After everything you’ve done for me, how can I not trust you?’

      He shook his head. ‘You think I’m worthy of your trust?’

      Unthinkingly, he reached out a hand and captured a lock of her hair.

      Reclosing the gap between them, she tilted her head back a little and placed a hand on his cheek.

      ‘I want one night when I can throw caution to the wind. I want to know what it’s like to be made love to, and I want it to be you because you’re the only man I’ve met who makes me feel alive without even touching me.’

      Francesco could hardly breathe. His fingers still held the lock of her hair. The desire that had been swirling in his blood since he’d nuzzled into her neck thickened.

      When had he ever felt as if he might explode from arousal?

      This was madness.

      MICHELLE SMARTS love affair with books began as a baby, when she would cuddle them in her cot. This love for all things wordy has never left her. A voracious reader of all genres, she found her love of romance cemented at the age of twelve, when she came across her first Mills & Boon® book. That book sparked a seed and, although she didn’t have the words to explain it then, she knew she had discovered something special—that a book had the capacity to make her heart beat as if she were falling in love.

      When not reading, or pretending to do the housework, Michelle loves nothing more than creating worlds of her own, featuring handsome, brooding heroes and the sparkly, feisty women who can melt their frozen hearts. She hopes her books can make her readers’ hearts beat a little faster too. Michelle Smart lives in Northamptonshire with her own hero and their two young sons.

       CHAPTER ONE

      FRANCESCO CALVETTI BROUGHT his MV Agusta F4 CC to a stop and placed his left foot on the road as he was foiled by yet another set of red lights. Barely 7:00 a.m. and the roads were already filling up.

      What he wouldn’t give to be riding with nothing but the open road before him and green fields surrounding him.

      He thought of Sicily with longing. His island had none of the grey dreariness he was fast associating with London. This was supposed to be spring? He’d enjoyed better winters in his homeland.

      He yawned widely, raising his hand to his visor out of pure habit. After all, no one could see his face with his helmet on.
