As a features writer, she gained a wide variety of experience. She interviewed some of the world's most attractive and interesting men, including Warren Beatty, Richard Chamberlain, Charlton Heston, Sir Roger Moore, Sir Alec Guiness.

Her friends said a whirlwind romance would never last, but they celebrated their 25 anniversary, they are still married, still happy and in love.
After 13 years on the magazine Christine decided that it was now or never if she was ever going to write that novel. So she wrote Legacy of Fire which became a Silhouette Special Edition, followed by another, Enchantment in Venice. Then she did something crazy gave up her job.

4 Stars! ~ Primmo Rinucci travels to England to oversee the takeover of a electronics company that he's just purchased. Olympia wants to be the one that steps into the retiring president's shoes, and impressing the "mighty" Primo is something she aims to do. On his arrival, Olympia mistakes him as a temporary PA that she had called for, something Primo doesn't correct her on and he gives her a false name. He's entranced with Olympia and finds himself plotting with her to put one over on the new boss!
I really enjoyed how Primo fought with his conscience over the deceit of his identity. When he falls in love with Olympia he knows he has to fess up, but of course, she finds out before he can confess and this leads to alot of hurt feelings and bitter words. Ms. Gordon wrote this one mostly from Primo's point of view which made his deceit seem not so wicked. Well done!

Frankly, I don't know which character is more DISGUSTING to me: David (ex Olympia's husband), Olympia or Pietro Rinucci. I think I will go with the whole package... 🙄😖
On the other hand, the writer keeps making the same mistake from a book to other. 😫 She creates a complicated plot and tries to solve it in two or three pages... 🤦🏻♀️
Finally that go to future and turn back in time is confusing and it doesn't help to story development. It's clear she is aware of and tries to fix it explaining what's going on when she should spend that time and space on main plot. 😒
Sorry but no, thanks! Ciao, Mrs. Gordon! 👋🏼

I love this book such a great read a really great read. I could not put this book down at all. Two people who when they meet end up lying to one another for a purpose for business. But Primo has a lot more to lose since he lies about his real name using his father's name. But when Olympia comes to his country she finds out about the truth and is not at all happy.
