Fernando Ramsey had been raised to believe women were lovely objects for pleasure. Of course, the fact that he'd been raised by Marcus Ramsey made it no surprise that he'd harbor such archaic notions. Fortunately, the staid point of view had worn thin on the middle son of Marcus and Josephine Ramsey. Fernando longed for what his parents never shared-a love based on equality and mutual respect.
Sadly, such women to experience those things with had not been easy to find. Fernando feared he'd be sentenced to a lifetime of hollow acquaintances. Then, during a family business trip, he meets the alluring Contessa Warren. The beautiful Chicago publisher was everything Fernando never believed he'd want: flare, spice, fieriness and grit. The fact that she was gorgeous and sexy to boot, had Fernando hooked from the instant they met. She was a woman he could gladly remove his cool, detached persona for. But there were other matters vying for Fernando Ramsey's time just then. Naggings concerning his father as well as strange occurrences at Fernando's gentleman's club, were putting a sour feeling in his gut. His suspicions were sending his determination into overdrive. Somehow, he knew that his father was involved in things tantamount and equal to murder. How to prove it was stumping him as completely as Contessa Warren.
Contessa was on a mission of her own-with her top author off the Ramsey book, County and her team of researchers were going full steam. The tidbits they'd uncovered only stirred their certainty that one or more of the Ramseys were dealing in heinous acts that could harm more than the family name. If only she weren't falling for one of the delicious Ramsey gods herself. It was a thing she swore never to do. Fernando Ramsey spelled danger and complication, but also challenge and seductive delight. Moreover, he was a man she would happily dissolve her tough demeanor for.
With new revelations being uncovered, could Fernando and Contessa trust their hearts enough to shed their respective masks? Could they face the truths regarding not only their feelings but the horrific discoveries about to shake the powerful Ramsey clan?
