Bookish and near-virginal, I arrive in New York City to live.I expected a quiet life working in the NYC library, but I'm shocked when I find the bachelor my mother arranged me to stay with is a hot broody Italian billionaire.Living with the CEO movie mogul in his Manhattan penthouse is soon perfect.The only thing is, Lorenzo won't take me and claim me as his. Even if I walk around half-naked and even if I tease him wickedly in every way possible. Maybe I'm right, and maybe he has been warned.Maybe to him, I am forbidden.After dating disasters in competitive NYC, I ask Lorenzo to turn me into a hunk magnet. Following a bumpy start, Lorenzo agrees to dig in. He then advises me on adjusting my small-town looks, becoming the catch of the town, and becoming as sophisticated as all F!I give my all, but because I've only been bedded by a single small-town ex, my results are tragic. Grumpy finally caves and he agrees to coach me on kissing and making out.Our make-out workshops get hazy fast, and my dream to have the hot Italian spins out of control.He then not only claims me as his... He claims me as his forever!
