Bella has since left her shameful past behind, but her memories of that night with Matteo still burn. Forced to attend Sicily’s most exclusive wedding together, Bella knows the dark-hearted tycoon will want a reckoning. As the clock strikes twelve, it’s clear that Bella will be leaving the party with Matteo—and going directly to his bed!
