The world knows him as Prince Perfect. She's about to discover the truth. Prince Federico diTalora is all too aware of his dreaded nickname: Prince Perfect. He's spent his life guarding his reputation, cognizant of the duty he owes his country and its citizens. But as a widower with two rambunctious boys, the strain of being an ideal son, father, and prince has pushed him to the breaking point. Pia Renati is in San Rimini to stay with her best friend, who's pregnant and on bed rest. Faced with hours of downtime, Pia is tempted when Prince Federico, with his Mediterranean good looks and unimpeachable reputation, invites her to spend time with him and his two boys. As Federico and Pia chase the boys around the palace gardens, they find themselves drawing closer. Pia didn't travel to San Rimini for romance-it's the last thing she wants-though there's no denying her attraction to Federico. But can she trust Prince Perfect with her heart, when she sees all too clearly the pain he hides from the world?
