Counts of Calvani

Venice: a city of secrets and passion! Dulcie Maddox is in Venice to work--but she finds herself wanting to spend every day with a tall, handsome gondolier.... Guido Calvani is no gondolier--he's actually one of the wealthiest aristocrats in Venice. He hasn't told Dulcie that, though; it's refreshing to be wanted for himself, rather than for his money. Only, now he's falling for Dulcie. He'd like to make her his bride--but she has no idea who he really is, not even his real name. Then Guido discovers he's not the only one hiding a secret. And Dulcie's secret turns his world upside down....

Tuscany: from rags to riches! Selena is tough and independent, scraping just enough money to survive. When she falls for Leo Calvani she thinks he's a kindred spirit--apparently he lives a simple life in rural Italy and, like her, he's illegitimate.... But she arrives at his home only to discover it's the largest house in the district, that he owns two villages and his uncle is a count! This is not the Leo she thought he was. But then a new discovery comes to light--Leo is proved not to be illegitimate after all, which makes him the count's heir! It's Selena's worst nightmare. There's no way she could ever be a countess...
