The Italian Conte's Second Chance

She married him for all the wrong reasons. He's blackmailed her back into his bed. Their second chance might be their last.

Previously Published as The Reluctant Wife

Three years ago, Abby Taylor walked away from her marriage to Italian aristocrat Conte Dante Lombardi-and the sprawling Tuscan villa that briefly felt like home. She was twenty-one, desperately in love, and utterly heartbroken by a husband who wanted her for one thing only: to provide him with an heir.

Now she's back, but not by choice. Her beloved grandmother needs a life-saving operation she can't afford, and Dante is the only man with the means-and the motivation-to help. His price? A devil's bargain: Return to his bed, his life, and give him the son he needs to save his family's legacy.

It should be simple. A business arrangement between two people who know better than to confuse desire with love. But Dante's touch still sets her on fire, and beneath his cold aristocratic exterior, she glimpses the man she fell for-the one who might actually feel something for her after all.

Then Abby discovers a devastating secret about her own body, one that could destroy their fragile second chance before it begins. Because the one thing Dante wants most is the one thing she may never be able to give him.
In a marriage built on duty and desire, can love be enough when everything else falls apart?
