When she was a teenager, Jade Sommerville had a massive crush on Nic Sabbatini. The youngest Sabbatini brother had been the object of the impressionable sixteen year old’s fantasies. But when Nic had spurned Jade’s advances, she had seen red. Vowing to make him pay for rejecting her, Jade decided to show Nic what he had been missing by becoming the ultimate party girl. Frequently snapped by the paparazzi stumbling out of parties and hotel rooms in short designer dresses and sky-high stiletto heels, the spoiled socialite’s life is a wild whirl of parties, unsuitable relationships and scandal. But there’s more to Jade than meets the eye…

Jade has never had to worry about money. Her wealthy family have been subsidizing her lifestyle for years, but when her father decides to stop her allowance and dissolve her trust fund, the high maintenance socialite realizes that the time has come for her to take action – which is where her childhood crush, Nic Sabbatini, comes in. In order to continue living in the manner which she has grown accustomed to, Jade needs Nic to honour his late grandfather’s dying wishes: to marry her or else risk losing a third of the Sabbatini assets!

Nic might not have spoken to Jade in years, but he knows that she is the last person he would ever consider marrying. The proud Italian is disgusted by her hedonistic lifestyle, laidback manner and indolent approach to life. Jade is the opposite of everything he’s ever wanted in a wife, yet Nic cannot lose such a substantial part of the family assets, so he consents to her demands. But Nic is not about to let Jade make a fool out of him…

Knowing about his betrothed’s penchant for scandal and outrageous behavior, the sexy Italian is adamant that his soon-to-be-wife should behave in an appropriate manner and that she doesn’t embarrass him or the family name in front of the world’s press. Jade cannot risk incurring Nic’s wrath…especially as she has found herself falling head over heels in love with him!

Nic has made it perfectly clear that theirs can only be a convenient marriage. Yet, when sparks begin to fly and wild passion is unleashed, the powerful Italian cannot help but wish their marriage was the real deal. But has too much water gone under the bridge for the two of them to ever have a future together?

A red-hot Harlequin Presents novel that sizzles with explosive chemistry, steamy sex scenes, breathless emotional intensity and affecting pathos, The Wedding Charade is a fantastic contemporary romance which will keep readers riveted from beginning to end! I thoroughly enjoyed reading Nic and Jade’s fiery romance and I am sure readers will love feisty and confident Jade and brooding Alpha hero Nic.

Sexy, moving and irresistible, The Wedding Charade is the latest gripping, tempting and highly readable contemporary romance by Melanie Milburne.
