The loved and the feared

the long version

The world-famous film star Serafina Neri made slaves of the men who surrounded her. Yet her life was hedged about by fear, and a strangeness that made her rely on the companionship of the ruthless Rick Lordetti day and night – or so people said. And it was Rick whom Donna Lovelace had met in the moonlit Colosseum on the never-to-be-forgotten night; Rick with whom she had fallen in love. But then, when she took a job as Serafina’s secretary, Donna met him again, only to find that he treated her as a stranger…Was that one night of romance all that Donna would ever have of Rick?
