About the book
(A book in the Here Come the Grooms series) CAUTION: DANGER AHEAD Once upon a time Bronwen Montorsoli, a young widow, struggled to support her son with odd singing jobs. But then a social worker accused her of filling her boy's head with grandiose fantasies of being related to an Italian prince. Just as her son, Nicky, was to be placed in "protective care," a towering stranger appeared at her dreary London flat. Identifying himself as her brother-in-law, Prince Lorenzo Montorsoli, he whisked them off to Italy, claiming Nicky as his heir. But who would protect Bronwen from Lorenzo's magnetic presence? And who would protect Lorenzo from the ethereal Welsh beauty who defiantly declared herself his enemy for life?
