Sophie Balfour was the middle child of the family, the quiet, shy one, and she lived on the estate in the carriage house with her mother where she had studied a interior design course from her home. And how after the Balfour Charity Ball and the scandal involving her sister Zoe, her father is determined that all of his girls will go out on the own and learn something about hard work. He has a past friend who owns a shop and so he sends Sophie there to work. Sophie works very hard and is put always in the background and because of her determination to succeed they take advantage of her and pile on tons of work. And then with they get the call from the handsome Italian Billionaire Marco Speranza that he wants to restore is family villa in Sicily, the owner plus her co-workers are unavailable to go so in the end, they must send Sophie. She arrives in Italy, with no luggage, wearing a sack dress to hide her generous curves and falls asleep in Marco's office while waiting for him to return to his office. He's not interested, and is surprised to see such a "plain Jane" sitting there. However, Sophie is fierce with her presentation and in the end he agrees, but she must oversee the job not her boss. There is something about her that intrigues Marco.

Marco had once been married and had married for love. He had expected someday to have a family but once the ring was on his wife's finger, she told him she had other ideas. And then time after time she humiliated him and he finally divorced her and moved out of his family villa. Now he had returned and was going to hire an interior design firm in England to bid the job. At the last minute the owner had to send Sophie Balfour as she was the only one able to give the proposal because the others were unavailable.

Their initial meeting was very interesting. He wanted to call a halt but Sophie was determined to succeed not only for her boss but to show her father she could. There was something intriguing about the girl and her determination and eventually she wore him down and agreed to take her out to his villa the next day. For Marco, this Englishwoman seemed half alive and yet the was passion just below the surface. As a Balfour she had a life most people would dream of and yet she wasn't living it. He was also troubled because this plain woman with no fashion sense intrigued him, plus the fact that she hid her curves.

Marco felt anger at the Balfour family who had allowed Sophie to become invisible just because she was the quiet one. Behind her smiles and quiet manner, she was stubborn as anyone he'd met and she was also quietly ruthless when it came to getting her own way. He felt this was why the project came in under budget and was finished ahead of time. She had a body that drove him wild and she responded to him like to one else. She was sweet, stubborn and most of all loyal. One thing was for sure during the evening of his ball Sophie had organized, there was no comparison between his ex-wife and Sophie. She was pure and said what was in her heart. She brought his home back to life and when he finally realized it there was no turning back. They both had a marvelous perfect and happy ending.

5 (Perfeito)

esse livro valeu cinco estrelas

tá eu li na sequencia errada ,li o quarto lirvro antes dos demais,mas valeu a pena por dois motivos a estoria é otima,e porque me despertou a vontade de ler a serie inteira,mas vamos ao que interessa:
bom eu posso dizer que a resenha que eu li resume bem os sentimentos da mocinha sobre si mesma,ela é timida e se acha o patinho feio da familia,isso porque suas irmãs são beldades que são sempre o foco das atençoes dos rapazes e mesmo quando aparece um rapaz esse tem o interesse de conhece-la somente para chegar até as irmãs.e Marco ,o mocinho é um sofredor,ele teve um casamento conturbado cercado de traição e mentira que o deixou cetico para o amor,já viu neh esse mocinho vai custar admitir que ama a mocinha
bom acho que as melhores partes ,se é que eu posso definir algumas porque o livro é bom por inteiro,mas eu escolhi primeiro encontro entre Sophie e Marco(foi ao mesmo tempo engraçado ,como envolvente,mostrou um pouco da personalidade dos mocinho que finalmente vem a tona)
sophie é apenas uma iniciante na area de decoração de interiores ,e quando chegou no emprego por nao ser considerada um padrao de beleza foi coloca pra trabalhar nos bastidores e foi bastante explorada por isso,o mocinho interassado em reformar um imovel que pertencia a familia resolve ter uma entrevista com a a dona da empresa ,mas ela fica impossibilitada(bem feito )sem alternativa ela manda Sophie ir no lugar dela,e gente imagina que tudo que tinha que dá errado deu,tudo mesmo,até brigar com o mocinho ela brigou-e eu ri por isso,pelo visto ele despertava a ligua ferina dela kkkkk
mas bom ele a contratae exige que ela chefie a reforma ,porque ela tem algo que tá faltando na vida dele,e acreditem ele mesmo sendo de certa forma o chefe ,ela não fica calada ,sempre tem uma resposta pra ele,gostei da estoria porque o mocinho sempre a valorizou e como ela mesmo admite foi ele que despertou esse amor por ela mesma,se valorizou mais,o mocinho mesmo traumatizado pelo casamento,percebeu que tinha uma mulher maravilhosa em sua vida ,que trouxe não só paixão a sua casa mas tambem o mostrou que não tinha comparação entre ela e sua ex,porque ela era unica
