The Harlequin Presents book I am currently reading is Kept by the Spanish Billionaire by Cathy Williams (visit eHarlequin.com to see more books by Cathy Williams). I must say that I am pleasantly surprised by this novel! The main character, Amy, meets the handsome, successful and brooding (of course!) Rafael Vives [...]
