The Medici Lover

the long version

When Suzanne's friend Pietro invited her to visit his family in Italy, she expected a short pleasant holiday; nothing more. The two of them were friends and she couldn't see the relationship deepening into anything warmer. Certainly she had not foreseen that instead she would fall in live, swiftly and desperately, with Pietro's forbidding cousin Mazzaro di Falcone, and that he would return her feeling. But Mazzaro was an aristocrat, the head of his family; he was married - albeit unhappily-with a child, and divorce was out of the question. Was there anything but heartbreak ahead of Suzanne?
