Harlequin Presents January 2015 Box Set 1 of 2(141)
The last time Luca Fonseca saw Serena DePiero, he ended up in a jail cell. The Brazilian billionaire has since clawed back his reputation, but he’s never forgotten her. So when Luca discovers Serena’s working for his charity, his anger reignites!
Serena has changed. Finally in control of her life, she refuses to let Luca intimidate her. She’ll deal with whatever her new boss throws at her—from a rain-forest trek to the social jungle of Rio! But she can’t handle the passion that flares hotter than Luca’s fury.
Especially when it threatens to consume them both!
“Luca, what are you doing?”
But the defensive tartness was gone out of Serena’s voice.
He pulled her in closer, the darkness wrapping around them but failing to hide that bright blue gaze or the gold of her hair. The slant of her stunning cheekbones.
She wasn’t pulling away.
Luca’s body was on fire. From somewhere, he found his voice, and it sounded coarse, rough. “What am I doing?”
This…
And then he pulled her right into him and his mouth found hers with unerring precision. Her breasts swelled against his chest—in outrage? He didn’t know, because he was falling over the very thin edge of his control.
When he felt her resistance give way after an infinitesimal moment, triumph surged through his body. He couldn’t think anymore, because he was swept up in the decadent darkness of a kiss that intoxicated him and reminded him of only one other similar moment…with her…seven years before.
Billionaire Brothers
One raised in luxury in Brazil, the other on the streets of Italy…
Luca Fonseca lives with the shame of his father’s unethical dealings and his own mistake of falling for a beautiful face. Now the coldhearted Brazilian is determined to restore his family’s reputation—with or without his twin brother’s help.
Embittered Max Fonseca Roselli shunned his heritage and his brother, and despite raising himself on the streets of Rome, he has carved out his own successful life. He, too, wants respectability, but he has a very different plan…
Two women will bring these brothers together—but is it enough to restore their brotherly bond?

CHAPTER ONE
SERENA DEPIERO SAT in the plush ante-room and looked at the name on the opposite wall, spelled out in matt chrome lettering, and reeled.
Roseca Industries and Philanthropic Foundation.
Renewed horror spread through her. It had only been on the plane to Rio de Janeiro, when she’d been reading the extra information on the charity given to her by her boss, that she’d become aware that it was part of a much bigger organisation. An organisation run and set up by Luca Fonseca. The name Roseca was apparently an amalgamation of his father and mother’s surnames. And Serena wasn’t operating on a pay grade level high enough to require her to be aware of this knowledge before now.
Except here she was, outside the CEO’s office, waiting to be called in to see the one man on the planet who had every reason to hate her guts. Why hadn’t he sacked her months ago, as soon as she’d started working for him? Surely he must have known? An insidious suspicion took root: perhaps he’d orchestrated this all along, to lull her into a false sense of security before letting her crash spectacularly to the ground.
