Product Description
The wedding took place in Naples, a city of burning rubble and poverty -- for the time was 1944 and the Germans were in retreat. Thousands of Italians were starving and prepared to do anything to survive.
Liana was more determined than most, not only to survive, but to get out of the hell-hole that Naples had become. She had lied, cheated, played provocative games, and now stood in a crumbling church before an emaciated priest. Beside her stood Nicholas Hamilton-Howard, Earl of Wessex, a young English officer who was totally bewitched by the exquisite Italian girl.
Even during the service she was terrified -- terrified that someone would reveal the truth about her -- but when the final blessing was given she knew she was safe and vowed to devote her life to making Nicholas happy, even though she did not love him -- even though their life together was to be built on lies and deception.
