Chelsea had to grow into love.

Neglected by her parents, Chelsea Prescott was a rebellious, insecure teenager when she'd first met Ricardo Colchero at his family home in Madrid. "Be careful about what you want, nina," the dark eyed banker had warned gently, "because that's surely what you'll get."

Finishing school and a year of traveling had transformed Chelsea from an awkward girl to a beautiful woman. Suddenly her easy relationship with Ricardo was complicated by a new and powerful attraction.

Ricardo's intentions were clear. He wanted Chelsea. But only if she was free and ready to choose love for itself.
