Can’t it wait until later?’ Philippa interjected, her voice taking on a firmer edge. ‘We were discussing the wedding.’ The wedding will take place in Villa Amore, where family and friends will gather but there are so many secrets that will blow up around this union.

Philippa smiled as she replied to Bianca and ended the call. ‘Of course, every girl dreams of practicality on her wedding day,’ she teased, as Carina laughed. The multiple third-person POV works to an extent in providing their thoughts, but the voice shifts repeatedly from one person to another. At the same time, it’s not omnipresent narration either. This makes it hard to connect with the characters.Carina stiffened, knowing her mother would react like this. ‘Yes, and I’ve just had the same conversation with him, but there’s nothing he can do.’

The Scots presenter was getting on with her usual day job when she let slip to viewers she's got another exciting project on the go. Wait! the young man wanted to shout, but knowing it was futile the word died on his lips. He nodded as their eyes met for a split second.There was a tussle in the darkness and blows were exchanged, fists flying as pent-up fear and anger found a release. The mood changed rapidly when one of the soldiers drew his weapon. It’s Bianca,’ she explained, naming Carina’s wedding planner. ‘You need to decide about the stemware for the champagne reception. Flutes or coupes?’ The two soldiers had fled along with the others, peeling off down an alleyway, their hearts heaving in their chests as they concealed themselves in a doorway, the whistles of the carabinieri could be heard close by. Carina had a sharp business brain too, and her father had rewarded her devotion to the company by making her brand director of Casa di Russo. She’d more than risen to the challenge, recently overseeing an international campaign with Brad Pitt to raise the company’s profile in the US. It had been a huge investment, but Carina had convinced her father it would pay off in terms of brand awareness and sales. Now it seemed she’d been proved right, and she was thrilled.
