The Russian's Tender Lover — Elizabeth Lennox

Darcy DiAngelo had two secret lives: one in the public eye, courting the paparazzi and dancing the night away with gorgeous men all over the globe, the other hiding from her Mafia boss father who would try and marry her off to the highest bidder.

Neither was the true Darcy and she longed to have the freedom to be herself.

Billionaire businessman Sergei Anchova would not endure any insult to his family reputation. When his sister's fiancée disappears claiming to be in love with the party girl Darcy DiAngelo, the issue must be resolved. Bringing the glamor girl to a private island while he searched for the missing fiancée was not only expedient, but perhaps he could teach the woman how to be a productive member of society during her stay.

But Darcy taught Sergei the meaning of the words love and passion. She also showed him he shouldn't believe everything he read in the tabloids and that the world really could be a bit less mercenary if he chose to look for the good in people.
