A young girl, Valentina Luciana De Rossi had it rough.
Never in her life has she been treated fair. After the death of her mother, and the murder of her beloved father and brother at the age of 6, she was cast way to England, from her home in Italy. She was envied upon, all her life however. She had the most beautiful face, and nothing less of her body. She was always targeted by older men, only at the age of 21.
Damien Black, however, had anything he wanted, strolling through life and his deeds with ease.
He had the face of an Adonis. A body perfectly sculpted by God himself, and riches that would give a grand meal to every soul in the world. He had women falling at his feet, and men wanting to be him. He took advantage of this, and he had a reputation. Being the son of well pronounced billionaire Joseph Black, and heir to the company, Black Industry, he had big shoes to fill. He was cold, ruthless, and charming. Damien took his work seriously and took pride in it. HE disregarded women and had no shame, so what would he want with a castaway?
What happens when these two cross paths?
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
