A very compelling story .....

Rossillini's Revenge Affair by Yvonne Lindsay Silhouette Desire # 1811 - July 2007 In the span of 48 hours, Lana Whittaker's life had been ripped apart, and as each hour passed, more was taken from her. First, her husband's sudden death in a tragic accident leaving his mistress of the past three years lying brain-dead in hospital kept alive only to continue nurturing her unborn child. Second, was the knowledge that her marriage had been a sham, that while she had loved Kyle, he had lead a double life. To support that double life Kyle had been diverting funds from his clients and borrowing heavily, he was a master juggler. And that brought the third shock, everything is gone, her home, her possessions, her bank accounts are frozen, all to cover Kyle's debts. And the biggest shock was that Kyle had left guardianship of his children (should he have any) to Lana, his wife; this meant that the mistress' unborn child was hers to raise. Raffaele Rossillini knows he has a lot to atone for. He was the one to introduce his sister Maria to Kyle Whittaker. He believed Kyle that his beautiful trophy wife had refused continuously over the past three years to give Kyle the divorce he sought. Raffaele had not kept the promise he had made to his mother that he would always look after Maria, but he would avenge her death. Lana Whittaker would be made to pay for destroying Maria's life and that of the man Maria had loved, the husband Lana had refused to set free. First he will seduce her, gain custody of his sister's baby, and then he will discard her. This is my first book by Yvonne Lindsay, and it will not be my last. She has a very pleasing voice and has written a very compelling story. Even though I do have some problems with part of the premise (the fact that Raffaele condoned his sister's affair with a married man), I was able to become engrossed in the lives of Lana and Raffaele. What makes this book work, is the skill with which Ms. Lindsay gives us insight into Raffaele and manages to give him great depth. He's a hero that is ruthless yet vulnerable, angry yet compassionate. Lana's quiet courage and silent suffering is palpable. I class this one as one for the keeper shelf :D
