Catch her if you can... The Renaldis, Book 2 Rafael Renaldi is a modern man with an old-fashioned secret-an arranged marriage. Though it was an informal agreement, made when they were children, Rafe has always been a little in love with the beautiful, passionate Catalina Campioni. And assumed that the single, searing kiss they shared years ago sealed the deal. Marriage? Babies? Not now-not yet. After growing up witnessing her mother's devastation over her father's cheating, Cat has no intention of settling down anytime soon. She plans to live life to the fullest before marching down the aisle-and it definitely won't be with womanizing, lethally charming Rafe. When Rafe realizes his bride-to-be wants nothing to do with him, he does what a crazed man might do-he kidnaps her. But not to force her to the altar. She wants adventure? He'll show her adventure, and show her life with him will never be dull. But even as they fall in love, someone close is desperate to keep them apart and will do whatever it takes to ensure they won't marry. Anyone. Ever... Warning: Put a sexy, charming Italian hero together with a fiery, beautiful Italian heroine and you have a combustible romance on your hands. Nothing like a good old-fashioned kidnapping and arranged marriage to help a couple fall in love.

They were blessed with great power while they were cursed. The greater their abilities, the shorter their lives. My blood protected them from their curse Yet, my twin Jennifer took away my glory and had me tortured for 6 years! Worse still, My mate allowed it ** "You've been like a pig for us. He can smell you down here. He's known this whole time." She took out a mirror and held it up to my face. " You think he would ever accept such an ugly mate like this pig." I hadn't seen myself since I was twelve, vibrant and healthy. I was a child then, and now I looked like a ghost. My face was hollow and pale like a sick person. I saw the scar on my face, it burned and had inflamed my cheek so that it was swollen. My eyes were red from the tears. My hair was dull and limp over my skull. My purple eyes were the only piece of me that still held some semblance of life. I could see scars even on my neck, and I knew that my body was even more scarred, and even more pathetic... "How dare you be so stupid." Jennifer said. "How dare you think the Alpha wants you for more than your blood. Imagine him mating with you, when he could have me."
