Rae ran away from her billionaire husband, Domenico Ricci, because she feared she was losing her self as her mum had done, becoming totally obsessed and controlled by her husband. After leaving him she established her own bridal gown design business and found herself again. She returns to Venice as Domenico’s Aunt has died and she wants to attend the funeral. When the will is read she finds out she has to stay in the Venetian Palazzo with Domenico for 6 months or he will not inherit it. She agrees and moves back to Venice. During their enforced time together she finds out about her husband’s childhood: how he was so poor Lily treated by his mother and her family. She starts to understand him. He also realises her fears and issues and helps her achieve her ambition. Will they be able to overcome their childhood traumas and build a life together?
I enjoyed the premise of the book rather than the book itself. The characters weren’t particularly likeable or relatable to the reader and there were loose ends that the book didn’t address - Domenico’s awful mother, for example, was brought into the storyline and then never mentioned again. This was a once only read for me. I wouldn’t rush to reread.
