Product Description
Jump into the fire
Severo Dante and his brothers had always dismissed rumors of the Inferno--an explosive desire that overtakes Dante men when they first see their soul mates. Then Severo met jewelry designer Francesca Sommers and was astonished by their raw, urgent, mutual attraction. A rising star at a rival company, Francesca has crafted a dazzling new collection that could ruin Severo's plans to rebuild the Dante empire. His solution: blackmail her into becoming his employee--and his fiancee--until their smoldering affair runs its course. But some fires, once lit, can never be extinguished.... --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 Blue Ribbons from Romance Junkies!, March 3, 2008

By	Natalie S "ns65" (Nashville) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Severo Dante never believed his grandfather when, as a youngster, his grandfather told him that when the woman for him comes into his life, he will know it. Dismissing those words as the ponderings of an old man, Severo pretty much forgot what his grandfather told him. That is, until he comes face to face with a woman at a jewelry show and spends the night with her. With the light of day, one simple phone call from Severo's brother changes everything. Apparently, the woman with whom he just spent the night is a rival company's premier jewelry designer.

Francesca Sommers is the newest and brightest designer for Timeless Heirlooms. She is also carrying a secret - a secret that could break up a marriage. Walking on egg shells because of this, Francesca does her best not to make waves. All that changes when she meets Severo. Spending the night with him is a dream come true, but when the night ends and morning begins, Francesca finds herself floundering at the feelings Severo has awakened. Then, to make matters worse, he finds out exactly who she is and where she works.

Day Leclaire has hooked me with DANTE'S BLACKMAILED BRIDE, the first book of a series titled, The Dante Legacy. Severo Dante was almost unnerved by the emotions and depth of feelings he felt for Francesca, especially since she was a rival jewelry designer. Willing to take her any way he could get her, Severo's scheme almost backfired. But there's just something about dominant men that makes my heart pound.

DANTE'S BLACKMAILED BRIDE is an entertaining and often times sensual read. I winced at Severo's audacity at times but found myself smiling when he and Francesca finally admitted their love. Talk about fate. Day Leclaire is now firmly on my Silhouette Desire auto buy list and I am anxiously awaiting the release of Marco's story, DANTE'S STOLEN BRIDE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dante's Blackmailed Bride, November 3, 2008

By	L. S. Asato (Honolulu, HI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the first in the Dante's series. I read this one after I'd read the others, so I knew what to expect. The story was good, and the twists it took were interesting. I would recommend reading this one first, before going to the other three in the series.
