Fashioned for Love — Alba Marie Pastorek

When Ardyn Mills is summoned to Italy by handsome, world-famous designer Giancarlo Lorenzo to supervise the opening of one of his boutiques, she has no choice but to go. After all, ten years before, when she was seventeen, she had promised him "anything" if he would be lenient with her father, who had been caught embezzling.

At Giancarlo's insistence, she stays in his villa just outside Florence, and she soon finds herself captivated by Riccardo, his eight-year-old son, who tries to play matchmaker between her and his widowed father. Giancarlo does not discourage him, nor is he discouraged by the fact that Ardyn has a fiancé back home. What disturbs Ardyn more than Giancarlo's kisses is her own reaction to them. She never felt such excitement in her fiancé's arms! But she is frightened too. For she suspects Giancarlo has called her to Italy not to collect on a debt but to get revenge. Is he trying to make her fall in love with him -- just to have the pleasure of breaking her heart?
