Although Sancia was growing to love the Italian grandmother she had so recently met for the first time, there were limits to how far she would go to make her happy — and agreeing to an arranged marriage was definitely out of the question! Yet Giovanni Riccardo Antonelli was the only man she had ever met who could provoke a response from her. And, if she refused to agree, a beautiful Venetian palazzo would fall to rack and ruin. Would marriage to this undeniably attractive man really be so bad?
