Eighteen months ago, Il Boschetto di Soleâa lemon grove situated in the mountains of Lycander
HOLLY ROMANO STARED at her reflection. The dress was ivory perfection, a bridal confection of froth and lace, beauty and elegance, and she loved it. Happiness bubbled inside herâthis was the fairy tale sheâd dreamed of, the happy-ever-after sheâd vowed would be hers. She and Graham were about to embark on a marriage as unlike her parentsâ as possibleâa partnership of mutual love.
Not for Holly the bitterness and constant recriminationâa union based on the drear of duty on her fatherâs part and the daily misery of unrequited love on her motherâs. Their marriage had eventually shattered, and in the final confetti shards of acrimony her mother had walked away and never come back. Leaving eight-year-old Holly behind without so much as a backward glance.
Holly pushed the images from her mindâshe only wanted happy thoughts today, so she reminded herself of her fatherâs love. A love she valued with all her heart because, although he never spoke of it, she knew of his disappointment that Holly had not been the longed-for son. And yet he had never shown her anything but love. Unlike her mother, who had never got over the bitter let-down of her daughterâs gender and had never shown Holly even an iota of affection, let alone love.
Enough. Happy thoughts, remember?
Such as her additional joy that her father wholeheartedly approved of his soon-to-be son-in-law. Graham Salani was the perfect addition to the Romano familyâa man who worked the land and would be an asset to Il Boschetto di Sole, the lemon grove the Romano family had worked on for generations. For over a century the job of overseer had passed from father to son, until Holly had broken the chain. But now Graham would be the son her father had always wanted.
