Everyone loves New York...but they lust after red-hot bachelor Dom Paladino!

In the loud, vibrant Little Italy community, family is just as important as history. Dominic might be the youngest—and most charming—of the Paladino brothers, but he wants a future that doesn’t involve the family business. He also wants temptingly sexy Sara Moretti...and he’s not letting a little thing like “bad blood” keep him away.

Sara’s never forgiven Dom for hurting her feelings all those years ago. So how come her heart beats like crazy every time he stops by her family’s pizza shop? Suddenly she’s having a seriously hot, X-rated fling with the guy she used to hate. It can’t possibly last. But in the Big Apple, half the fun comes from rewriting history...

“We can take this as slowly as you want,” Dom murmured.

Sara glanced down at his aroused body as they sprawled across his bed. “Uh, it looks like slow is the last thing you need.”

“I’ll be fine.” Dom smiled. When he kissed her, it was gentle. Sweet. She’d wanted things to be wild, untamed. This fantasy was turning into a soap opera.

His hand cupped the back of her neck, and with the tip of his tongue he brushed the seam between her lips. His other hand caressed her breast and teased the nipple.

Something clicked and she kissed him back, letting everything else go. Right this moment, this kiss, his tongue, the taste of him, the way he breathed, was all that existed.

He didn’t hurry her or make her feel anything but special. His low moan made that thrill slip down her back again, and she found herself melting inside, all kinds of sensations wakening once more.

He wasn’t the boy of her memories, or the man she’d imagined.

He was so much better. Hotter. Sexier...

Dear Reader (#u02e11e62-5bfe-5799-9c81-734a71e1dd03),

Well, here it is. My last Harlequin Blaze. It seems impossible. I’ve loved this series ever since I wrote my first Blaze back in 2001. I was thrilled that my editor, Birgit Davis-Todd, thought of me for the launch, and I’ve been privileged to write thirty-seven Blaze stories since then.

Seduced in the City is set in my beloved New York and is the final book in the NYC Bachelors trilogy.

Dominic Paladino is a natural-born charmer, and now that he’s finally leaving the family business, everyone knows he’s destined to take the world by storm.

Sara Moretti has returned to the neighborhood after being away at college, and is working at her family’s pizza parlor while she finishes her MA. She’d had a crush on Dom since she was twelve.

Only, the boy she’d loved from afar broke her teenage heart, and she made a foolish mistake in return. Foolish enough that it rippled through her life right up until the day he reappeared ten years later.

Now they not only need to work through their troubled past, but they’re faced with some serious decisions that could impact their families, their neighborhood and most important, the love that’s taken them both by surprise.

I hope you enjoy Dom and Sara’s story, and that we meet again soon between the pages of more stories from the heart.

All my best wishes,

Jo Leigh

So how did she end up in Utah in a tiny town with a terrible internet connection, being bossed around by a houseful of rescued cats and dogs? What the heck, she says, predictability is boring.

To Birgit Davis-Todd, who’s believed in me and my work since 1997.

I can’t think of a better thing that’s happened to me in my Harlequin career.
