'Anna Stockton never dreamed she’d find love on her trip to Italy, let alone be proposed to by the handsome and rich Lucio Ventressi. Then, just as her life seems to be going perfectly, it’s suddenly ruined when she wakes up in the bed of her fiance’s brother. Anna has no memory of what happened, but she knows she couldn’t have betrayed her beloved. Unfortunately, Lucio takes his brother’s word over hers. After leaving Italy, heart-broken and riddled with guilt, she finds that she’s pregnant. Four years later, her son is ill and his life-saving surgery is unaffordable. Lucio offers to pay for the surgery, but in return Anna must become his mistress.' (Publication summary)
