from fictiondb: He could neither forgive nor forget Nothing Olivia could say would diminish Nick Baretta's hatred for her. The woman who had cruelly rejected and deceived his brother Greg would suffer for her callousness. Now, though she was innocent, Olivia must deal with Nick's dangerous threats. "I make a point of getting what I want, " he informed her, and Olivia knew she must escape. For it was obvious that while he wanted to hurt her, he also wanted to make love to her ...and she doubted she could refuse him.
from fictiondb: "I'm sorry for you, Nicola," Domenico said. "Leo is not the man for you. I warned you at the start, but you wouldn't listen. You're obstinate and willful." His words struck like icy pebbles and Nicola winced. How he must dislike and despise her! What was the point of arguing with him? He would only believe what he wanted to believe. And it was better for him to think she loved Leo than to suspect she loved him!
