Until Twilight
Chapter One
As she wove her way through the diners at the tiny circular café Isabella Sebastiani
was not in the mood to be shocked. Not twice in one day. She’d already endured one
trauma this morning in Florence’s Bargello when she had defused the worries of that
ancient gallery’s young director over a suspected bomb in a small, lady’s purse. That
had been a false alarm that made her late for a very important job interview.
But halting in her tracks in front of the replica of Michelangelo’s
David
in the Piazza
della Signoria, she saw one man whose appearance created a bursting sensation deep in
her stomach.
No, Bella, deeper than that.
She straightened and tamped down the fierce
physical attraction that raged like a five-alarm fire in her soul.
“Va
bene,”
she told herself all was well. She could handle men who were so good
looking they were too vain to really care for a woman. Placing one foot before the other,
she hitched the straps of her slim leather briefcase higher over her shoulder. “Men do
not astonish you.”
Why does this one?
She could not take her eyes from him, this man who was a
stranger to her, this man who was the only man among those in the café in the piazza
who could possibly be the one she was meant to meet.
She pushed her sunglasses up her nose and tried not to stare. No matter that he did
not seem to notice her. No matter that at least fifty others dined on the terrace of that
same famous little restaurant. He was the tallest one. The fittest. The most
mouthwatering. With chocolate-brown curls and fine, strongly chiseled features that
rivaled the
David
overlooking the square, this man appealed to every cell in her body.
And he mustn’t, Bella. If he likes you as a person, if he values your
vitae,
if he accepts you
as his partner in this international security firm for which he works, then you must not want
him to pet you,
cara.
