Burning Desire (Lost&Found Series) ✔
This is book two in the Lost&Found Series but can be read as a stand alone. *** I heard the bag drop on the table before he grabbed my elbow and spun me around. His hand cupped my chin as he made me look in his eyes. "So much anger, piccola raggazza." he said as his eyes darted back and forth between mine. My lips parted as I looked in his grey orbs which he inherited from his father. Sharp, defined jaw and pointy noise with his upper lip thin and bottom, thick. "I'm not angry at you. Your presence and absence are of little importance to me." I stated and looked away. "You grew up in my arms, I know you like the back of my hand." he told as his thumb applied pressure on my jaw to tilt my face towards his. I blinked and looked at him blankly not wanting to give away the fact that I was literally melting in his arms like a puddle. "You're not worthy of my any emotion or feeling. You're mistaken if you think I care." I stated in a matter of factly tone. *** Returning home after four years, Sylvia Mancini will encounter a lot more than she has anticipated. Her life's about to take a complete 360 turn and Adrian Knight just so happens to be the reason why.

He claims he's Liam Croft, her billionaire husband, and that a terrible accident stole her memories. Thrust into a life of glamour and secrets, she must play the part of a wife she can't remember.

Liam is magnetic, protective, and looks at her with a longing that feels real. But as fragments of the truth begin to surface, she uncovers a dangerous web of corporate espionage and hidden enemies. The greatest threat of all might be the man sleeping beside her-the man she's dangerously close to loving all over again. Who can she trust in a world where everyone knows her... except herself?
