Celina inherited both the cottage where her beloved grandmother painted her famous watercolors and a faded journal that hints at a long-ago Venetian love affair. It€s the priceless Canaletto hidden away with the journal that piques her curiosity, however. An art historian and appraiser, Celina can€t rest until she knows the story behind the painting€"and how deeply the past owner, Conte Massimo di Palladino, touched her grandmother€s life.

Lucca Palladino doesn€t trust the lovely American who appears at the palazzo, particularly when he realizes his grandfather is smitten on sight. He€ll use any means, fair or foul, to remove Celina, including the seductive pleasures of a midnight gondola ride. All he has to do is avoid being seduced himself€¦
