The Count's Vendetta

the long version

There was a price to pay for her freedom When her brother gambled away her inheritance, Jemma was left entirely in Count Vittorio de Vasari di Montevecchio's power. And he was a man bent on revenge. Three years earlier Jemma had fallen it love with the devastatingly attractive Count, but that was before his favorite cousin defied him by marrying Jemma's brother. The Count made it plain he found her family's morals and standards unacceptable. Now he demanded Jemma come to Italy and work for him to repay her brother's debts--or face the consequences!
