"Sprinkled liberally with heart-stopping passion - simply scintillating!!"

On a month's vacation in Venice, Amy Redman fell madly in love with and married Vincenzo Ravenelli. Her whirlwind wedding didn't last longer than a day for Amy soon discovered the real reason Vincenzo married her -- to get his hands on a priceless family heirloom, the Ravenelli Ruby. Devastated, Amy returned to England, never telling anyone, not even her mother, about Vincenzo or her marriage. Now, four years later, Amy returns to Venice to ask Vincenzo for a divorce. She needs to move on with her life and leave the past behind. The first step is to let go of Vincenzo. However, HER SECRET BRIDEGROOM is not so willing to fall in with her plans!

Billionaire Vincenzo Ravenelli believes in family honor and traditional values. Now that his wife has finally returned to her senses and come back to him, he has no intention of letting her go again. The question of divorce is not a possibility. No one in the Ravenelli family has ever been divorced and Vincenzo will not be the first. Convincing Amy that he takes his vows seriously is another story.

Kate Walker has been writing unforgettable romances for her fans for quite a while now and her new release, HER SECRET BRIDEGROOM is another winner! Ms. Walker's excellent talent for creating rich, warm, exquisitely drawn characters and a plot sprinkled liberally with heart- stopping passion is showcased brilliantly once again in her latest offering.

Vincenzo Ravenelli is ėto die for'. He is the ultimate alpha male -- dominating, warm, sinfully sexy, possessive, nurturing and much more, all rolled into one. You can't help but fall in love with him. If you have a soft spot -- like me -- for alphas, be warned. Once you get to know Vincenzo, you'll be hooked!

As always, Ms. Walker whisks the reader deep into the heart of the story, getting us totally involved with the characters, letting us experience their joy and their pain... and their passion. Very beautifully written and carefully crafted, HER SECRET BRIDEGROOM has all the makings of an unforgettable tale. The dialogue was scintillating. I especially enjoyed all the sparring between Amy and Vincenzo. Fiercely passionate and very very sexy!

HER SECRET BRIDEGROOM is a book that belongs firmly on your keeper shelf. Once you get your hands on this one -- you won't be able to put it down! Bravo Kate Walker!
