Rain on a Summer Afternoon — Audrie Manley-Tucker

Neither one wanted the other...

So why did members of Carlo's gregarious Italian family insist that he and Nina were meant for each other?

Nina was in Northern Italy for two reasons: to visit the villa where her grandmother had been a governess, and to holiday with her longtime boyfriend, Dominic "Dom" Hammond, a painter touring Italy for inspiration. He was the one she intended to marry.

Not Carlo, a debonair charmer who valued his freedom above all else.

A marriage between Nina and Carlo? Not a chance....

Hero: Carlo "Charles" Rossman
Heroine: Nina Hughes
