Elsa is the Gatekeeper
I didn’t
plan to fall for him. I only planned to sleep with him.
That was my first mistake.
My second was becoming pregnant with his child.
I arrived late to a black-tie gala at a casino owned by the Contis and ended the night in a private suite with a man I should have feared.
His name was Antonio.
Older. Precise.
The kind of man who doesn’t raise his voice because he never has to.
We exchanged first names.
Nothing more.
He thought I was just another
guest.
I thought he was just another powerful executive.
We were both wrong.
Because I’m Elsa Nilsson—head of due diligence for Northstar Hospitality.
And Antonio Conti is the man trying to acquire the company I work for.
He knew the gatekeeper was named Nilsson.
He just never imagined I’d be
twenty-five…
or that he’d already had me beneath him in his bed.
Now a rival syndicate has decided I’m the leverage in a billion-dollar war.
Antonio insists on keeping me close.
In his casino.
In his orbit.
Under his protection.
Under his control.
He says it’s strategy.
But the way he watches me feels more like possession.
And just when the acquisition reaches its final stage—
I discover I’m carrying a Conti heir.
MY REVIEW 5 STAR NOTES TITLED: Elsa is the Gatekeeper
Wow, the trouble the two of these people caused because they didn't know who each of the other truly was. She was just Elsa to him and he was just Antonio to her !!! They were HOT together during that one night stand !! Total shock for both of them when they finally meet at that very first NorthStar meeting !! She makes the final financial decision and he's furious ! He's played her and she's gonna wreck him ! Don't do it Elsa, he's sweeter than you think !
Antonio is trying to keep his calm but she's beautiful and smart. Later he finds out her mother is a world famous former model and he father is a pretty important handsome man. How could she not be gorgeous !He family needs this legitimate merger and he and his family fear he's blown it ! He has to meet her ice with calm blankness at the meeting and that's how the family members there realize, the charmer is not being very charming.
Not only is their chemistry hot but it becomes funny too ! Dangers escalate of course and when she finds out she might be pregnant? Oh, boy. They have to run for it until they can get out of a special Mafia clinic ! I loved the two of the together and how they finally get their HEA.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
