"You are just a spoilt, overindulged little brat!" His ocean blue eyes flashed contempt.
"And you are a rude, arrogant, chauvinistic brute!" She spat, tossing flame coloured curls over her shoulder. 
"Then we have nothing further to say to each other!"
"No!"
"Good! Goodbye!"
"GOODBYE!"

Cecilia Rose Knight is used to attracting admiring looks and covetous glances - a necessary evil when your father is richer than Croesus. Being the baby of the family, Cecilia is used to getting her way more often than not; but there's one thing that has remained ever elusive to her: love.  Nevertheless, she's pretty certain she knows what type of guy she's going to fall in love with: warm, kind, open. Until, of course, HE comes along, and shatters everything she's ever believed in...

A self made billionaire, Nicolas Freire has no time or energy for spoilt little princesses. He just wants to do a business deal with Cecilia's father, after which he will become the mogul of his own empire. But, for some reason he can't seem to leave the red-haired vixen well enough alone...

When two stubborn, hard headed individuals collide, the ride is sure to be nothing short of tempestuous. And the heart is sure to be just a little tormented...
