It was love at first elbow to the nose. When skirt-chasing TV star, Liam Black, gets thrown out of an unknown actress's apartment, he is impressed by the Z-lister's surprising amount of self-respect. (She's a Z-lister and he's Liam Black, after all.) After some subtle stalking, Liam learns that the woman is ambitious Hollywood attorney, Gemma Vaughn, and he becomes intent on making her the Amal to his George Clooney. The cold-hearted lawyer, however, has zero interest in Liam, whom she believes to be a walking STD. When Gemma is forced to accept the trouble-making celebrity as a client, her worst nightmare is realized: he begins to grow on her - kind of like a fungus. Will Gemma be able to keep their relationship strictly professional, or will Liam break down her walls and compromise her heart (and maybe her health)? Note: This is an excerpt only.

"Your problem is that your heart is too big, it leaves you vulnerable and makes you weak." He spoke in such certainty that it brought tears to my eyes, because it was the truth. I was vulnerable and delicate, I was weak and let my guard down too much. "You put your heart on your sleeve. You are oblivious to evil and peoples capabilities because you cannot imagine a person like that, you are blinded by your good nature." "What about yours?" I asked hesitantly, trying to keep the shake out of my voice. He looked at me with confusion for a second so I continued, "What about your heart?" I questioned. He looked at me with his dark eyes, his stare like stone. "I haven't got one." ******* Angela and Adriano are like fire and ice, they are complete opposites. But what happens when Angela gets thrown into Adriano's dangerous lifestyle? Can Adriano protect her from the evils he faces every day? Or does it become too much for the innocent Angela to cope with? *Warning: There maybe be strong language in some of the chapters.* #26 in Romance 10/04 #4 in Romance 19/06 #2 in Romance 28/07 #1 in Romance 03/09
