Six months after her husband’s death, the last place Claire Craven expects to find herself is in a sumptuous Venice palazzo—in the arms of artist Alessandro Vianello. But as the now-destitute widow of a man who left behind a secret trail of white-collar swindles that Claire is determined to pay back, sometimes a barter is the only option . . .

Five years ago, Alessandro, descendant of notorious seducer Casanova and current purveyor of the “family business,” met Claire—and ignited a fire that only her upcoming wedding vows restrained. Now, he has returned to collect his stolen paintings. In exchange for his art, Alessandro will give Claire the VIP package: three days of offering her everything he’s learned about love and pleasure. But when their bargain is complete, parting ways may be easier said than done . . .
