Renaissance Florence comes to passionate life in a vivid new
historical romance series by “legendary”* New York
Times bestselling author Bertrice Small.
Florentine silk merchant Giovanni Pietro d’Angelo
and his wife want nothing more than to marry their daughters
to wealthy men of distinction. But when their son’s
dangerous indiscretion implicates him in a tragic accident,
it is their eldest daughter who must pay the price.
Blackmailed by the powerful and debauched Sebastiano Rovere,
the Pietro d’Angelos must give beautiful Bianca in marriage
to Rovere to buy his silence.
With the aid of her
mother, Bianca flees her dark, cruel union, seeking shelter
in a seaside villa. It is the shocking murder of her husband
that allows her to find the possibility of love at last. But
Florentine society would never approve of the man she’s
chosen: Prince Amir, grandson of Memhet the Conqueror.
Two passionate lovers...two different cultures...two
worlds determined to keep them apart...
