Publisher's Synopsis
Alessandra Russo Smith wants nothing more than to be the mother and wife that everyone tells her to be. For 15 years she has done just that, but her marriage has become a lonely one, and the demands of being a mother of two teenagers is starting to weigh on her. She takes the kids to school everyday, then comes back home to take care of the house. She has a strict schedule to follow in order to keep her husband, Chris, happy. Chris likes the house kept clean and his dinner ready before he arrives home from work every evening. So, day in and day out, Alessandra heads home to start the laundry, followed by cleaning bathrooms, the kitchen and picking up after the mess her daughters tend to leave behind them in every room. She preps dinner, picks up the girls from school and then heads home again to finish where she left off. Dinner is always on the table at 5:30 sharp, no exceptions. But when life as she knows it spirals out of control, will she be able to get through it?Matteo Marino is an Italian Instagram model with a following that any Instagrammer would kill to have. He has abs to die for and he knows the ladies love him for it. He never pays the comments much mind, until he catches sight of one left by a beautiful woman with the saddest eyes he has ever seen. Matteo knows that he has to reach out to her and get to know her. He wants more than that, he wants to feel her curvy body pressed against his hard muscles. To run his strong hands over her plump ass. There are just two things wrong with that idea. First, she is from the United States and he doesn't know if she would be willing to travel to Italy just for a romp in the sheets. Second, she is married and has children and he can't even begin to think of breaking up a happy family just so he can get his rocks off. But is she really happy? Her eyes say different. It couldn't hurt just to send her a message and say, "Buongiorno, bella." Could it? Matteo doesn't care. He will stop at nothing just to have a chance with her.
