‘Til death do us part... Nicky Fairchild had backpacked her way to Venice hoping to find sunshine and warmth. Instead she'd nearly died of pneumonia, then been swept off her feet by Dr. Carlo Santini, the sensuously brooding widower who'd saved her life. She'd fallen immediately in love with him. There could be no other explanation for agreeing to marry a man she barely knew. And all too soon she became Signora Nicolina Santini, with a fashionable new hairstyle, a flashy new wardrobe and a husband who made her feel uneasy, almost fearful at times—a husband whose friends looked shocked when they met her. Was this destined to be a marriage in heaven—or hell?
