Law Unto Himself 

She’d been left waiting at the altar…- And when her English godparents offered Francesca an escape from the suffocating pity of the Italian aristocracy of which she was part, she accepted gratefully.

Her attraction to him was sudden, overwhelming and dangerous.For all the great poise that her upbringing had taught her quickly started to dissolve when she looked into his silvery eyes.
