A
heroine who has stopped believing in fairy tales and happy endings,
Dia Sophia Romani, jilted three days before her wedding, has lived
with Mama in San Diego’s Little Italy for six months. She’s tired
of everything Italian, and is ready to move on…
Enter
an unlikely hero. Carlo Antonelli is of Italian descent. He adores
Dia, but he’s willing to take his time and not rush her. When he
learns she will be vacationing in Italy and Corsica, he must step up
his game.
Will
a wish made at a magical gate destroy, or strengthen, their newfound
love?

Excerpt
“You
mean…?” She looked back at the guy.
Nah,
impossible. I’ve never been that lucky.
“Yeah,
that’s Carlo Antonelli.”
“You
don’t want to accept the date, just make up whatever excuse you
want.” Tony beckoned.
A
jolt of heat spread through her abdomen when Carlo grinned and waved.
He ducked through the slow moving traffic and stopped in front of her
smiling a crooked smile. Pushing his sunglasses onto his head, white
teeth flashing, and mahogany eyes sparkling, he held out his right
hand.
My
wedding date? Her
heartbeat pounded, and her mouth went dry.
“You
must be Dia.” He tucked the book underneath one arm and held her
hand gently with his other big warm hand. “Carlo Antonelli.”
“Yes.”
The word came out on a soft breath. She swallowed hard. “Tony
mentioned you wanted to speak to me about Marco’s wedding.”
Something inside of her shifted, as if a huge iceberg started to melt
in her chest and slide sideways, leaving a pool of cool, blue,
bubbling water. She floundered for a minute wondering what to say
next, because she couldn’t use the word date. Not while looking
into his magnificent eyes. Then she remembered he was Italian, or at
least part Italian.
Strike
one.
Her shoulders stiffened. She had no interest in Italian men. She hitched up the purse onto her shoulder, and squinted from behind the dark sunglasses.
