She came to map the gardens of Tuscany. He was the one mystery she never meant to uncover.
When Liliana Derwent leaves the quiet of Sherborne Hall for sunlit Italy, she expects study, not scandal. Tasked with restoring Lady Maude’s gardens, she soon crosses paths with Conte Antonio di Monteverdi—a brooding neighbor whose charm is as infuriating as it is disarming.
Their first meeting ends in ruined boots and sharp words, yet among moonlit terraces and whispered rumors, their rivalry softens into something neither can name. His steady hands mend what her temper breaks, and her laughter begins to stir what he thought was long buried.
But when an ambitious Marchese schemes to claim her through deception, Antonio’s protective instincts ignite. Determined, decisive, and unwilling to stand by, he risks reputation and reason to tear through the lies surrounding her and launch a rescue, revealing the power of love neither can resist.
Can two hearts bound by pride and past wounds find love amid the secrets of Tuscany…
