'The heir to the D'Adamo Family Trust must be the youngest, legal-aged, married male.'
- fifteenth-century inheritance clause
The time has come. In order to secure the future of his family estate and fix his broken relationship with his father, workaholic lawyer Matthew D'Adamo needs a wife.
Enter Sarah Browne, a free-spirited event manager, who is looking for an escape from the emotional and physical toll of her endometriosis, and the incessant buzzer of her biological clock. With an ironclad prenuptial agreement, Matthew and his 'wife', Sarah, are moving to Florence to fulfil the D'Adamo inheritance clause.
There are just two problems.: they've never met. And there's another claimant on the D'Adamo estate.
Matthew and the other potential heir will have to compete for the inheritance. 'Faking it' from their first meeting at Sydney airport, Matthew and Sarah's resolve will be tested at every turn. Will they have what it takes? And who said anything about love?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This bright rom-com celebrates all things Italian, with some fun twists. As dashing lawyer Matthew D’Adamo rushes to catch a plane from Australia to Italy with his new wife Sarah, they’re facing more than the inevitable interrogation from Matthew’s family (who call him Matteo). In fact, they’ve entered into a fake marriage so that Matthew can fulfil a centuries-old clause around the inheritance of his family’s estate. Sarah goes along for the ride for her own reasons, but their sudden move to Florence is just the first of many life-changing upheavals. And amid all the careful pretending, the prospect of real romance begins to blossom by surprise. Making the most of its sumptuous settings, The Italian Marriage is an elegant and engaging debut novel.
