An innocent for the taking…


When he finds out that Contessa Larissa Alfere-Tiziano has inherited a ruined Tuscan palace, gorgeous, ruthless, Italian property magnate Antonio Michaeli-Isola is determined to reclaim his birthright and make the palazzo his own! And if that means seducing and then discarding the beautiful, spoilt Contessa…then he will.

As she gives him her innocence, will Antonio realise his misapprehension…before it’s too late?

Review:


The Italian Billionaire’s Virgin is a fantastic debut novel by Christina Hollis. Romantic, moving and engrossing, The Italian Billionaire’s Virgin is an unmissable tale which no Mills and Boon Modern Romance reader should miss!

Italian property magnate Antonio Michaeli-Isola is absolutely furious when he sees the Contessa Larissa Alfere-Tiziano move into the ruined Tuscan palazzo which is his birthright. How dare such a vapid gold digging bimbo take away the home he’s coveted ever since he was a child? Antonio vows to take back what is rightfully his and he decides to seduce and marry Larissa and then dump her once he gets his hand on the palazzo.

However, when Antonio meets Larissa, he realizes that she’s anything but the shallow air head he thought her to be and he soon realizes that he wants her in his bed and by his side as his wife – for life!

The Italian Billionaire’ s Virgin is a fantastic page-turner written by an up and coming star of the genre! Christina Hollis has created two wonderful characters which leap off the pages and which will live in the reader’s mind long after the last page is turned.

The Italian Billionaire’s Virgin is a wonderful tale that has got it all – a sexy Latin hero, a resolute heroine, steamy romance, powerful emotion and a narrative which will eagerly keep you turning the pages late into the night!
