Archaeologist Emily was doing excavation and restoration of an ancient Roman mural on the Italian estate of Count di Montecorvio when work crew started moving in, and the old count is nowhere to be seen. With nowhere to turn, she had to crash a party the count was allegedly hosting, and met the most handsome man: Alessandro Cavour, who promised to introduce her to the Count next day. She arrived at the appointment, only to realize Alessandro is the Count... She had negotiated with his father, who died two months ago. // Alessadro knew Emily was like no one he had ever met... smart... and had been hurt before (but she hid it well). But Alessandro lost his wife and child after a moment of rage cost them their lives, and he can't ever love another again... But they are drawn together, even as he needed to complete his father's wish: hire Emily to finish the mural... even as he had no wish to dig up the past...
The different threads did not come together. Emily was jumpy even though some simple Google search should have told her that her nightmare was nothing to worry about. And Alex... Bah. This guy seems to be awfully convenient in finding people's secrets... and keep mum about them. Sure, there's the ex, but again, the characters didn't feel that sympathetic to me.
