Taming the Notorious Sicilian
Michelle Smart
TAMING THE NOTORIOUS SICILIANThe face of a god and a body made for sin!Women like Hannah Chapman, pure and untouched, have no place in Francesco Calvetti’s world. He doesn’t do damsels in distress – except for that one time…Since losing her sister, Hannah has lived a sheltered existence, but a wake-up call leads her to the one man who can help tick off her to-do list. But will the gorgeous Sicilian oblige her?
‘You are playing with fire, Dr Chapman.’
Hannah gave a wry smile. ‘I’m trained to treat burns.’
‘Not the kind you will get from me. You’ll have to find another man to do the job. I’m not for hire.’
She tilted her head to the side. ‘Do I scare you?’
‘On the contrary. It is you who should be afraid of me.’
‘But I’m not scared of you. I don’t care about your reputation. After everything you’ve done for me, how can I not trust you?’
He shook his head. ‘You think I’m worthy of your trust?’
Unthinkingly, he reached out a hand and captured a lock of her hair.
Reclosing the gap between them, she tilted her head back a little and placed a hand on his cheek.
‘I want one night when I can throw caution to the wind. I want to know what it’s like to be made love to, and I want it to be you because you’re the only man I’ve met who makes me feel alive without even touching me.’
Francesco could hardly breathe. His fingers still held the lock of her hair. The desire that had been swirling in his blood since he’d nuzzled into her neck thickened.
When had he ever felt as if he might explode from arousal?
This was madness.

MICHELLE SMART’S love affair with books began as a baby, when she would cuddle them in her cot. This love for all things wordy has never left her. A voracious reader of all genres, she found her love of romance cemented at the age of twelve, when she came across her first Mills & Boon
book. That book sparked a seed and, although she didn’t have the words to explain it then, she knew she had discovered something special—that a book had the capacity to make her heart beat as if she were falling in love.
When not reading, or pretending to do the housework, Michelle loves nothing more than creating worlds of her own, featuring handsome, brooding heroes and the sparkly, feisty women who can melt their frozen hearts. She hopes her books can make her readers’ hearts beat a little faster too. Michelle Smart lives in Northamptonshire with her own hero and their two young sons.

This book is dedicated to all the staff and volunteers at the John Radcliffe Children’s Hospital, with special thanks to the team on Kamran’s Ward. Without their care, compassion and sheer dedication, my beautiful nephew Luke would not be here.
This book is also dedicated to the memory of Henry, Lily and Callum. May you all be playing together with the angels.
