Molly Clare is living her dream. Being a guest in a gorgeous villa while she explores Rome is everything she could've hoped for and more. The man who owns the villa is equally charming-and entirely too tempting. At least, that's what he appears to be. The truth of who and what he really is...well, that's infinitely more complicated.

Lord Hugh Farley is living a nightmare. Ruined by rumors of indiscretions he didn't commit and betrayed by his own family, his only option was to leave London. But any hope he had for a quiet Roman exile is destroyed when she arrives. Molly is everything he's ever wanted...and nothing he can have. But keeping his mind-and hands-off her quickly proves impossible.

Can Molly and Hugh find a way to clear his name and build a future together? Or is their happily ever after nothing but a fantasy?
