She doesn't realize though that the man she decided to give herself too is the man her brother is trying to do business with. Nico Galinas knows who Marianna is from the beginning but he indulges her deception which ends up blowing up in her face. Now pregnant Marianna feels Nico needs to know but will the man who thought the worst of her believe her the second time around?
I thought the beginning was a hoot. Nico though was a bit hard to soften too as he is a jerk and it takes time to figure out why he is so cold. Marianna is an interesting character, there are some fun moments with her. I liked that she had seven over protective brothers. If you are looking for an angsty read this is one to pick up.
