Arrogant Italian Paolo Venini needs to marry.

And English rose Lily Frome will make a perfect, convenient wife. Desperate to rescue her great-aunt’s imperilled charity from ruin, the selfless English volunteer reluctantly accepts his cynical proposal.

As Lily struggles to adapt to Paolo's glamorous world, Paolo whisks her off to Italy's beautiful Amalfi coast to spend their wedding night. Swept into the luxury of his Tuscan villa, the innocent country girl discovers that guarding her heart against his magnetic charm is an impossible task.

Behind his cool restraint lies a fierce passion waiting to be unleashed. But Paolo expects more than just a marriage in name only—after their vows have been exchanged, Paolo intends to claim his virgin bride as his own….
