Passion in Perugia — Veronica Bell

[BookStrand Contemporary Romance, HEA] Handsome Italian veterinarian Max Borsellino doesn't know what hit him when Lark Archer smashes her car into his newly-acquired pink Vespa. And Lark, a Canadian student and bird-watching fanatic in Italy, is beside herself when she finds out what the repairs are going to cost. Max offers to pay the bills himself if Lark will pretend to be his girlfriend during a weekend party with his family, an offer Lark finds impossible to refuse. What starts out as a ruse ends in a night of passion for the pair, drawn together by mutual attraction and a love for animals, including Max's dog Francesco. But will the sparks continue to fly once the party is over? Max's mysterious relationship with Lia, a beautiful Italian aristocrat, seems to suggest otherwise, and as secrets are revealed during Perugia's world-famous chocolate festival, it becomes clear that Guido, the scooter otherwise known as Cupid, will once again help love find a way.
