Elizabeth has wanted two things her entire life to keep her happy and fulfilled - an Italian husband and lots of rosy-cheeked bambini. The first is ticked off now she's bagged dark and sexy Roberto, the second is proving harder to achieve. But when Roberto loses his job and decides to leave London for Italy and the family business, Elizabeth hopes the change in lifestyle might help her relax and boost her chances of conceiving.

And when Elizabeth finds herself craving the company of a qorgeous American stranger, she knows her filthy, flirty thoughts about him are totally inappropriate. But there's no denying he sets her temperature rising...
