[BookStrand Contemporary Romance, Interracial]

Tierra Davis is shocked when her fiancé abandons her at the altar. She knows just how to get over it when she meets a painstakingly handsome stranger. What better way to start over than to have a two-week affair with a complete stranger?

Antonio Carabelli walks into the bar of the hotel he co-owns after the end of a hard day and is intrigued by the woman he finds sitting there. It isn’t long before Tierra tells him about her plans to have a no-strings-attached affair, and he is interested. However, he is only willing to move forward if they have physical chemistry. What better way to find out than with a simple kiss? The results are explosive, but Antonio soon realizes he has a dilemma. Two weeks isn’t enough.

5 ANGELS, RECOMMENDED READ: "Tierra Davis plans to have an affair with a stranger. After being devastated by the actions of her fiancé, she decides to go on the Italian honeymoon by herself. When she meets Antonio, he knows that he is the one. Although the affair is meant to be short-term, Tierra cannot stop the growing feelings she feels for Antonio. What was meant to be a fling, has developed into a love that Tierra will never be able to get over. Antonio Carabelli notices the beautiful woman the moment he walks into the bar of the hotel his family owns. Being propositioned by Tierra is something that he did not expect. Once their brief affair begins, Antonio finds himself reluctant to let her go at the end of the two week affair. Antonio knows that Tierra is the one for him, even if she plans for the two to part. Stephanie Morris' Indulgence: Propositioning the Rich Italian is an exceptional read. This book is the first in a series. From the first page I was not able to put this book down. I enjoyed how both Tierra and Antonio had strong family ties and how those ties had shaped them into the people they are. This story is the perfect mix of emotion and passion, as two people find a love that is forever. Ms. Morris has created characters that will not be easily forgotten and will have the reader wanting more. I look forward to reading more in this series." -- Tewanda, Fallen Angel Reviews

5 DELIGHTFUL DIVAS: "Stephanie Morris' book is positively a true delight to cuddle up with and lose yourself within the pages. I have to say that in reading this book I found myself in Rome. I was able to travel through the eyes of her characters and see the sites as well. The wonderful details are nothing if not amazing. Propositioning the Rich Italian is fun and scorching sexy! Stephanie Morris is like a decadent dessert, her books are to be savored and enjoyed." -- Deb, Dark Diva Reviews

4.5 BOOKS: "It is the sense of family that strike you in this book and the respect within the families on both sides, that draws the reader in. Ms. Morris' gift of detailed description made me feel I knew a place I’ve never visited. It came to life in vivid and pictures painted with her clever choice of words. Who needs a passport when Stephanie makes you feel as though you are walking beside her characters and seeing the city as they do? If you want a book to read that is full of passion, red hot sex and the ever present sense of family, complete with a feel good romance, then this is the book for you." -- Fennel, Long and Short Reviews


Excerpt

“Have you been told how beautiful you are tonight?”

She blinked before swallowing deeply, and he was pleased by how much she struggled with her desire as much as he did. Clearly, she hadn’t expected the question. Shaking her head, she cleared her throat.

“Yes, you did...earlier...but you can tell me again if you like.”

The corner of his mouth tilted up in amusement, and he leaned closer to her. “I would rather show you just beautiful you are.”

Before she could respond, his lips found hers. Once again, his mouth found hers in a delicious yet dangerous kiss. She whimpered against his mouth, and her hips tilted toward his, letting him know what she needed. One of his hands slid from the wall and came to rest on her hip—a nice, curvy hip. Her shape appealed to him on many levels. She had a fuller figure than most of the women he dated in the past. He looked forward to seeing all of it, even though it wouldn’t be tonight. His hand slid lower until it found the smooth skin of her thigh. She shuddered at his touch, and he lifted the hem of the dress until he found the elastic of her panties.

His touch told him they were made of lace and silk. As bad as he wanted to see them, he didn’t risk taking his mouth away from hers. He wanted her with him all the way. The way her arms came up and encircled his neck said yes. He slipped his hands inside of her panties and found what he was looking for. He encountered her wetness and he moaned, the sound quickly swallowed up by her gasp. Damp did not begin to describe how she felt. She definitely wanted him as much as he desired her. He moved his hand back a little until his finger found her ready for the pleasure he offered. She whimpered low in her throat at his touch, but it wasn’t good enough for him. Earlier, she stated she kept a tight rein on her control all of her life, and this was her opportunity to let loose. He pulled his mouth away from hers a little, his lips not leaving hers entirely.

“You don’t have to hold back with me, Tierra.”

She didn’t respond as he lowered his lips back to hers, but he felt as if she struggled to keep herself check, and for a moment, he wondered if she heard him. Just as he started to interrupt their kiss again, she made her first real sound. Her moan of pleasure filled the room in spite of his mouth being sealed to hers, and she trembled against him. The sounds that followed nearly drove him insane with need.

He gathered her close when her felt her legs tremble, knowing she reached the point where she would need his assistance to remain standing. It made him want to lay her on the bed, but nothing would make him interrupt her pleasure. Shifting his hand again, he changed tempo, and a moment later, she ripped her mouth from his. Her cry of release reached his ears.

He watched her as she experienced the throes of passion, and he kept stroking her, pushing her higher. She shrieked, and her eyes flew open as her body came off the wall. Her mouth fell open as she began to pant, and he never stopped moving his fingers. He wanted to make sure she was completely satisfied. Suddenly, she bucked against him, and his name fell from her lips on a loud moan. He kept stroking until her body collapsed against him and he heard her sigh in his ear.
