Publisher Description
Sometimes, the romance of a lifetime starts with one perfect night.
It's the year 1885 and the world has just begun giving up its ancient secrets. Miss Charlotte Blakely is a librarian in Rome. She's researching evidence of the fabled Veil of Veronica, but her time abroad is drawing to a close. Her viscount father is dying and has called his children home, yet a chance encounter with a stranger one balmy night might change her direction.
Mr. Everett Desmond is the English ambassador to Rome. He's dashing and would have been daring had he gone down a different path, but being jilted at the altar sent him far from England and sordid memories. Now, life has grown staid and boring. When he literally crashes into a pretty lady on the street, he's intrigued enough to further an acquaintance.
Desire flares after a couple of moonlit strolls, and a kiss at the Trevi fountain irrevocably changes both of their lives. Budding romance blooms beneath the heat and they find themselves enchanted enough to land into potential scandal. Is it a love to last a lifetime or is it merely a moonlight indiscretion? Only they can decide what they truly want for the future.
Customer Reviews
When in Rome
Two English citizens in Rome.
Charlotte is adventurous and is in Rone researching the Veil of Veronica. I liked that she indulged her needs there. Yay. All in.
Everett Desmond is the ambassador to Rome who was jolted at the altar three years ago.
They both have a bit of adventure in them and things get spicy.
But England is calling.
