It wasn't amore until she walked away.

He found out too late that she was his vita bella.

When Elysa Costa married Dante Giordano, it wasn't for love. It was a marriage of convenience—a union of tradition and legacy. But what started as an obligation quickly became more for Elysa when she fell in love with her husband.

Dante, burdened by expectations and unsure of his own heart, treated his marriage as nothing more than a duty, keeping things friendly, if distant, with the woman he was tied to.

After Dante's grandfather's funeral—the man who orchestrated their marriage—Elysa overhears her husband confiding in a friend that he wishes he wasn't married to her and wonders if another woman would make a more suitable wife.

Heartbroken and unwilling to settle for a loveless life, Elysa packs her bags, files for divorce, and walks away, determined to find the happiness she deserves.

After Elysa leaves, the truth hits Dante hard. He was falling for his wife all along, and he didn't want any other woman but her. As he sets out to win Elysa back, he must confront the man he's been and become the husband his wife needs. In the breathtaking beauty of Italy, among candlelit trattorias and cobblestone streets, Dante has to prove that his love—real, messy, heart-stopping—is real and will last forever.
