Your first love never leaves you no matter how many loves you have in your life. This is the story of that love and what happens when that love is tested.

Cesare Valente has the bait and he knows Nick will fall hook, line and sinker. There is only one passion in his middle son's like outside of women. The Valente family home. None of his sons loves it more than Nick.

Nick remembers the last time he saw Sasha. It was seven years ago with a kiss in the gazebo at a party. Sasha was an innocent 18 year girl. That kiss has never been erased from his memory. He knew she was too young but oh he wanted more but instead he walked away. Sasha left Australia and moved to England. Now she was back and his father has hired her to re-decorate the family home. Nick doesn't want the home touched. When he sees Sasha all the emotions are still there but more so. Sasha Blake has turned into a very sexy and desirable woman. Nick wants her as much now as he did seven years ago.
Nick finally gets Sasha to agree to a marriage of convenience. Sasha gets to decorate his home and he gets the home he loves at the same time.
Sasha Blake has never forgotten the kiss in the gazebo seven years ago. She fell in love with Nick Valente that night. To Nick she was just another conquest. She took that kiss with her and seeing Nick again she knew nothing had changed. She agreed to the marriage but she made Nick promise fidelity. She didn't want a marriage like her parents.
On her wedding night everything changed. Nick wanted Sasha as much as ever. Sasha was hesitant because of her sexual inexperience. She was a virgin and she knew that tonight that would change.
Nick couldn't wait to make Sasha his wife in every way possible. When he realized Sasha was a virgin he knew he couldn't let her go. Incidents happen that threaten to tear them apart. Almost too late Nick finds out that losing Sasha is the one thing he can't accept.
He knows that Sasha is home, she is his happiness. She is his now and forever.
This book was definitely a Five Star MUST read.
