Publisher's Synopsis
Mizzet is content with her life as a freelance painter, focused on her art and considering the possibility of returning to university. Romance is the last thing on her mind until she meets Romolo, her best friend's older brother. From the moment she lays eyes on him, with his tall, broad-shouldered frame, thick beard, and piercing eyes, Mizzet is smitten.
Despite her reservations, Romolo flirts with Mizzet, leaving her flustered and unsure of how to react. The added pressure of Susan's disapproval only complicates matters further. But Mizzet can't help the way she feels, and one night, Romolo sneaks out to meet her. In the heat of the moment, they create a life-changing bond - Mizzet becomes pregnant with twins. Before Mizzet can even tell Romolo the news, he must return to Italy. Every time he comes back, she struggles to find the right moment to confess, and the weight of her secret becomes overwhelming. When she finally musters the courage to tell him the truth, Mizzet is terrified that Romolo will never forgive her.
