Julien St. James is a tall, dark, and handsome, high profile business man with billions and is expanding his businesses into the western side of the states and also just moved across the street from the Taverron's.  

His penetrating silver eyes captivate her and take her breath away, and secretly she desires him.

He's confident, an Alpha, a leader and she likes that.  

Her deep blue eyes are full of so many feminine secrets only one man will be lucky enough to unlock and Julien is determined that it be him.

Little did he know, her flame couldn't be put out. And little did she know. . .Cristiano always won. ************************************************ Ruthless, cold-hearted Cristiano Russo is out for revenge. He thought she'd fall like a ripe peach into his hands. He'd even planned on it. Nothing and no one was going to stop him from crushing her. His thirst for revenge was too great, vowing to use her heart against her, use her for his pleasure and discard her like damaged goods-broken and disgraced. But what he didn't expect was a burning spit fire that fought him every step of his deceitful plan to ruin her. Jasmine St. James thought he felt the instantaneous connection and the sparks fly as soon as they met during her sisters magical, fairytale wedding. But behind his smooth Italian accent, and charming exterior, she soon discovered Cristiano was a devil in disguise. After a heated, humiliating exchange of words, and her hate for him burning like an inferno inside of her, Jasmine returns to her busy life in England full of outrage, confusion, and wounded pride hoping never to set eyes on his rugged, handsome face ever again. Unfortunately, her problems haven't even begun as he materializes out of nowhere, taunting her at every corner, constantly reminding her of his presence and giving her a taste of hell. And she soon finds out it's all because of her playboy brother Zayn and the mile-long, string of panties and broken hearts he's left behind. Will Jasmine be strong enough to tame the flames of Cristiano's revenge? It's said, there's honor in revenge. It's also said, it isn't as sweet as it tastes. ***His Yasmina is a stand alone, although it's highly recommended you read the others in the series. *** Series spinoffs: His Duchess His Camelia His Hope
