The desire: instant! The diamond: forever?

New bride Paloma Morante can't ignore the pull of attraction to Daniele Barado. She also can't ignore the shame of his one-time rejection or that she had to agree to his convenient terms...

Self-made tycoon Daniele will protect Paloma from her uncle's plan to steal her inheritance. In return, he'll gain the social standing he lost when his aristocratic mother abandoned him. Their vows are for show. But the heat that ignites behind the closed doors of their Tuscan palazzo is definitely, maddeningly, not!
