Diana Lane came to Italy for one reason: to escape her mother's relentless questions about marriage and grandchildren. She's young, successful, and perfectly happy with her life-no matter what her family thinks. Erio Fusco has spent his entire life following his father's orders. As heir to the Fusco empire, he's always done what's expected-until the day his father announces an arranged marriage. One impulsive conversation. Two people desperate to control their own lives. And a reckless solution that makes perfect sense after too much Italian wine. Get married. Make their families back off. Annul it when Diana goes home. Simple. Except living as Erio's wife in his Italian villa isn't simple. Not when his icy control melts under her teasing. Not when every "pretend" touch starts feeling dangerously real. And definitely not when Diana realizes the cold, dutiful heir is actually the warmest, most passionate man she's ever known. But when Erio's father digs into Diana's past and finds ammunition to tear them apart, their fake marriage faces a real test. Erio must choose between the legacy he's always protected and the woman who makes him want to rewrite every rule. Tropes you'll devour: Marriage of convenience turns to Real love Forced proximity (living as husband & wife) Grumpy Italian heir x Free-spirited American Fake relationship turns real Rebellion against family pressure Billionaire/legacy family drama Fish out of water in Italy Vacation romance gone wonderfully wrong
