Undressed

About this item

* Book 1 in The Manhattanites series. * Milan’s notorious playboy, Prince Tittoni, seems to have everything—Lamborghinis, exotic women, palaces throughout Europe and business success. Ramping up his fabric company to go global with a new apparel brand, he ruthlessly stops supplying fabrics to the American client who inspired the collection. But once they meet, what’s he willing to give to get her in his bed? Upper East Side designer Lex Easton has already endured her fair share of hard knocks. She’ll be damned if she’ll let an Italian stud muffin knock her down. So what if she named her favorite vibrator after him? With Fashion Week approaching, she’ll do whatever it takes to secure the fabrics she needs to make her clothing line an international success—even sleep with her rival. Lex’s Louboutins are dug in deep to win this war. All’s fair in love and fashion! Inside Scoop: Though the hero and heroine remain monogamous, their Prada-wearing friends indulge in a ménage a trois and other fashionable sexual fun and games. A Romantica® contemporary erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave Review "Undressed is a sizzling tale of love and lust amid the backdrop of the glamorous fashion world. The scorching sexual tension between the sexy, Italian playboy and Manhattan's feisty fashionista will keep you turning the pages in breathless anticipation." - Opal Carew , author of Illicit (St. Martin's Griffin) "An erotic whirlwind of a romance, Undressed is one debut novel that should not be missed!" - Lauren Jameson , author of Surrender to Temptation (Intermix) From the Author Dear Readers, Are you ready for Ellora's Cave NEW series The Manhattanites ? This star-studded cast is most aroused (wink) to share their stories with you. My idea for Undressed arrived during New York Fashion Week. I attended a show and thought--what if the fashion designer's unique fabric was to no avail days prior to catwalk? And what if her supplier ceased fulfillment, to knock her line off? I can tell you what The Manhattanites series lead diva Taddy Brill would say, " Holy Shiiit!" What about the heroine in Undressed , our fashion designer? I coupled those what-ifs with a royal saga. Right then, the world watched Prince William marry Catherine Middleton. I reflected on the devotion his great-great-uncle, Edward, Duke of Windsor, shared for his Duchess, Wallis Simpson and wondered--would you give up your lifestyle for a once-in-a-lifetime love? And poof, my characters Massimo Tittoni and Lex Easton leaped into my creative prowess and, with anticipation, into your hearts. After reading Undressed be sure to join Taddy Brill's St. Barth holiday with her Big Daddy in Unscrupulous . Enjoy! Feels like forever, Avery Avery(at)AveryAster(dot)com
