Bought: Destitute Yet Defiant

A wealthy real estate magnate longs to rescue the woman he loved from a desperate life in this dramatic romance by a USA Today–bestselling author.

He's scarred, sexy, and unashamedly Sicilian . . .


Silvio Brianza dragged himself up from the slums and has the scars to show it! But no amount of money can heal the invisible scars that run deep. Scars that threaten to surface when, driven by guilt and pent-up desire, he finally tracks down Jessie.


She's defiant, desirable, and utterly disobedient . . .


By day, Jessie scrapes her living scrubbing floors but by night she finds her freedom singing in nightclubs. When Silvio sweeps back into her life and offers her an escape, Jessie knows that no amount of diamonds and designer dresses will make her forget their past. She is a survivor and now she must fight her attraction to him, or risk her heart . . . all over again!
