Claimed by Love

Claimed by Love is the second book in Melissa Foster's Love In Bloom: The Ryders Series and it's a passionate love story that can be read as a standalone.

Gabriella Liakos is a strong-willed, confident woman who is deeply in love with Elpitha Island where she grew up and where she would love to live but the Island is in financial ruins and the job offering is slim to none. Especially because she's a family law attorney and well... no one ever gets divorced in Elpitha. Gabriella's grandfather asks her to help him save the family's Island and their legacy by reaching a good deal with the real estate investors.

Duke is a hot real estate investor who wants to make Elpitha into an exclusive resort, with casinos and golf courses. He possesses a very strong work ethic but he's also a very determined and clever investor. Both Duke and Gabriella weren't expecting the strong instant attraction between them, the sparks between them are so tangible that almost every member of Gabriella's family notice and tease them about it.

“I heard everything you said. And everything you didn't say...I have to keep my distance because everytime you're near, I want to kiss you. And I have a feeling that one taste of you would never be enough.”
