“Abide by the contract that I’m going to present to you. You have no right to refuse.” With these words, the devilish Rocco Mondelli, a wealthy man from Milan, threatened Olivia.

Olivia is outraged that Rocco would believe her capable of such behavior…yet she can’t suppress her response to Rocco’s gaze. How can he affect her so when he clearly thinks so little of her?
