Rachael Thomas - To Blackmail A Di Sione

“When you’ve finished making offers for the bracelet, I have a proposition for you.”

Billionaire Liev Dragunov has spent a lifetime plotting revenge against those responsible for his family’s ruin. Finally he has the way: Bianca Di Sione.

She’s denied their obvious attraction and coolly rebuffs every request to work for him—until he finds her weakness: a diamond bracelet she desperately needs!

Bianca must become his fake fiancée if she wants her trinket! But the taste of revenge isn’t as sweet as desire, and Liev discovers that she is innocent in more ways than one...

Book 3 of The Billionaire’s Legacy

Before Bianca had time to respond he lowered his head and claimed her lips in a kiss that verged on demanding.

Her head spun and, although she knew she shouldn’t, she moved her lips against his, tasting the forbidden. Her fingers clutched the lapels of Liev’s jacket as he put his arms around her, pulling her close against him.

It was insane. It was also amazing.

‘No.’ She pushed against him and he pulled back, but he didn’t let go of her. ‘That can never happen again—not like that.’

Liev drew in a deep breath and let it go slowly, as if curbing an angry response. ‘It will if we are in public. If it’s part of your “role”, as you called it.’

‘Just go,’ she snapped, and relief and disappointment washed over her as he moved back from her. ‘Go, Liev, this charade is over for tonight.’

‘Until tomorrow, Bianca.’

With those words haunting her Bianca watched him stride back to the elevator, wondering what had just happened. Why had she taunted him? But, more importantly, why had she kissed him?

It would not happen again.

I was really excited to be part of The Billionaire’s Legacy —and with authors I’ve loved reading for a long time. In fact, it was an honour.

I fell in love with my hero, Liev, and really enjoyed writing his and Bianca’s story, set against the backdrop of a city I always wanted to visit. When I did, I was totally swept up by it and didn’t want to leave.

I hope you enjoy meeting Liev and Bianca as much as I did.

Happy reading!
