In the third and final book of the Sabbatini Brothers Series by Melanie Milburne we meet the young,sexy and feisty Nic Sabbatini and the spunky "tart" Jade. Nic and Jade are old but not great family friends,who after a fall out have not spoken to each other in years.

See when Jade was 16 she came onto Nic hot, heavy and strong but he in no uncertain terms merely turned her down. She in turn vows to show him what he will be missing and turns into the ultimate party girl.

Years later Nic's grandfather has decided Nic and Jade are to get married in order for them both to inherit a large sum of money, Jade has no option but to face the insufferable Nic face to face, even though she knows facing him again will only bring back the painful memories and her love for him again.

So she confronts him,but Nic has his reasons for not wanting to marry this snobby "tart" after all she did sleep with is best friend and he finds her lifestyle totally disgusting. A woman who cant make her own money but instead relies on others whilst sleeping around and partying every night, just does not turn him on at all.

But Jade needs the money very desperately more than anyone knows and more than she is willing to reveal. Nic sees her as a money-grabbing, gold-digging, sleeps with any and every man kind of woman, and she sees him as the man she never should have fallen and exposed herself to.

But in the end Nic realises that he cant loose any part of the Sabbatini fortune and they do decide to marry for the sake of the money. But with the condition that Jade becomes a respectable lady as he does not want his wife to be flashed across newspapers leaving the homes of strange men.

Along the first weeks of their marriage Nic and Jade's attraction to each other builds and builds and finally erupts with the hot passion we have come to know from Melanie Milburne. But behind closed bedroom doors Nic discovers the real Jade, and he begins to understand why she pretends to be someone she is not.

Now it all comes down to if Nic will let Jade go after their arranged 1 year of marriage or will he fall as hard for her as she has for him from day one all those years ago?

In the final book of the Sabbatini Brothers Series Melanie Milburne shows us that not everything is as it seems and when you do not know the real person don't go judging them. The book compliments the first and second to down to a tee.

The entire series is one of hope, love, trust, true identity, secrets and pure passion. ( )
