About As They Like It (Unabridged)

Born in Puerto Rico and living in London, Orlando Burgos comes from boxing royalty and wants to emulate his father’s success. It’s his life goal, his passion, his everything. When he’s given his big break, a chance to put his name on the map and fight in a sponsored match against a previously unbeaten champion, he won’t let anything distract him from his goal. The night of the fight he meets beautiful British heiress Rosalind who is standing in as a ring girl. It was only meant to be a one-night stand. Only he can’t get her out of his head. Recently returned from working abroad, Rosalind is at a crossroads in her life: seeking a new career and independence from her wealthy family. After a night out at her family’s famous nightclub, she finds herself caught up in a paparazzi frenzy. Fearing further press intrusion, publicity shy Rosalind has no option but to change her identity and flee London. Her one regret is that she won’t see Orlando again. Orlando discovers his brother Oliver is indebted to an organised crime cartel. In lieu of payment they want Orlando to match-fix a fight for them. Orlando is forced to flee London and put his life’s dream on-hold, with no guarantee of a return. When a chance meeting reunites the lovers, their chemistry and desire becomes all-consuming and takes Rosalind on a voyage of passionate self-discovery. But it is only a matter of time before their past catches up on them....
