Author Marilyn Baron

Book Blurb
What could be more romantic than partnering on a project with a handsome Italian prince in beautiful Bermuda, to do marketing and event planning for the Newport Bermuda Race? It’s not romantic at all, if Prince Alessandro D’Alba dismisses every idea Isabella Romero presents and claims a language barrier but seems to understand the language of seduction. Is it love at first fight? How much control should Isabella accede before she loses her heart?
Excerpt
“My boss put me in touch with this Italian guy who’s employed by the heirs of that property I told you about, and we’re supposed to work together to come up with a unique hospitality program.”
“A hot Italian guy?”
“Gretchen thinks he’s a pain in the ass, but I have to work with him, so I’m trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.”
“Does this hot pain in the ass have a name?”
“Alessandro.”
“Oooh, he sounds divine.”
“Believe me, he’s not. Even his name sounds pretentious.”
“You haven’t even met him. Give him a chance.”
“A chance to what?”
“Break through that stone reserve of yours. You could relax and have some fun. Bermuda is a very romantic place with fabulous beaches. Maybe you’ll meet your Prince Charming.”
“I’m not going to Bermuda to get a tan or meet a man. I’m going there to work. But actually, he is a prince.”
“You haven’t met him yet. How do you know he’s a nice guy?”
“No, I mean he’s an actual prince from a country no one has ever heard of in a kingdom that no longer exists. But I Googled him, and after World War I, his family’s monarchy was abolished. But he’s still referred to as a prince.”
“Do you have to call him Prince Alessandro?”
“No, just Alessandro. And from his attitude on the phone, he’s not a nice guy. He has ideas, but he only wants to implement his ideas. He doesn’t have much use for mine. For example, I thought it would be interesting to have one of the local department stores display some of their jewelry at the villa so the guests don’t have to go into town to shop. But he thought that was too commercial. I should call him Veto Corleone. He vetoes every one of my ideas.”
“Well, they say opposites attract, so maybe there’s hope. You’ve dated enough hedgies from Wall Street. One day you’re going to find Mr. Right.”
“I’ve been at this a long time and I haven’t even found Mr. Half-Right. The hedgies don’t have enough time to date and neither do I. But I’ll keep an open mind.”
“Well, keep your eyes and your heart open. Make room and time to let love in.”
