A forbidden affair that's practically irresistible...
Everyone calls Emily Hoyt a free spirit. She's aware that's the polite word for flake.
Twenty-eight, no career to speak of, no plan, and now her perfect older brother has gone and gotten engaged — which somehow makes all of it louder.
Then she answers the door at his engagement party, and Alessandro Giordano is standing on the step.
He's the most beautiful man she has ever seen. He's ten years older than her. And he's the lying, cheating Italian who broke her future sister-in-law's heart — the one man on earth her brother truly hates.
Forty-eight hours later, Emily is on a plane to Naples with him.
It's supposed to be an escape. Someone else's country, someone else's language, nobody at home any the wiser. But Alessandro turns out to be nothing like the selfish ass she had him pegged as, and the further she gets from Seattle, the harder it is to remember why this was only ever meant to be temporary.
The problem isn't that Emily's falling for him.
It's that she still hasn't told anyone.
Note: Though this is the fourth book in the series, it can be read as a standalone.
