Description
Can an exotic summer fling in Italy turn into lasting love?
Venice is high on April Stockwood's list of romantic ports of call. Things get off to an ominous start when she arrives in Italy and a mishap leaves her with no place to stay. But her bad karma turns into a lucky break when she reconnects with Hayden Calloway.
Now a diplomat with the American consulate, Hayden was April's greatest crush when they attended high school together in Philadelphia. Suddenly, her Italian vacation is taking on thrilling new dimensions as Hayden shows her a side of the city most tourists never see.
Did April travel halfway around the world to find the love of her life? Or is her lover-a man with secrets-too good to be true?
