Rain on a Summer Afternoon — Audrie Manley-Tucker

Neither one wanted the other . . .

So why did members of Carlo's gregarious Italian family insist that he and Nina were meant for each other?

Nina was in Northern Italy for two reasons: to visit the villa where her grandmother had been a governess, and to holiday with her longtime boyfriend, Dominic "Dom" Hammond, a painter touring Italy for inspiration. He was the one she intended to marry.

Not Carlo, a debonair charmer who valued his freedom above all else.

A marriage between Nina and Carlo? Not a chance .. . .

Hero: Carlo "Charles" Rossman
