Under the cooling spray of the shower, Libby felt her numbing lethargy starting to subside. She felt better for her nap too, since the bitter storm of her emotions seemed to have blown itself out between falling asleep and waking up again, so that strangely now all that remained was a very sharp shaft of hurt pride, with a wearying degree of acceptance and aching regret.

The flaws had been there in her marriage, but she had never wanted to acknowledge them. Luca’s lack of real enthusiasm over their coming baby. The constant excuses he’d made about always having to work—and though she hadn’t wanted to accept it until now—the lies. He’d spent so much time wanting to go to parties when they could have been enjoying themselves together, or entertaining friends at the castle, when she’d just got back from nursing her dad, pregnant and shattered, having not seen him for weeks.

She’d excused his behaviour as the result of being brought up in a different social circle. Thought that she was the one at fault for not always wanting to join in. She should have guessed, though, she thought, berating herself with hindsight, that the far too easy-going, free-spirited young man she had married would be quite capable of being unfaithful to her without turning a hair. Perhaps she had, she decided now—deep down—and all her efforts at making her marriage work had in fact been for her unborn baby’s sake, and perhaps a little because her in-laws had been so determined that it wouldn’t.

The woman who caught Romano’s interest would have his whole, undivided attention, she decided with a sensually inspired little shudder, unable to dismiss from her mind how sensational he had looked when she’d come across him down there earlier, but particularly the way he had looked at her. His concern for her had seemed to touch something elemental deep down inside of her, but it was the way those dark eyes had seemed to lock on to hers that had made the space between them pulse with a powerful electricity. It was the same intangible connection she had felt with him all those years ago when he’d come to see her in the hospital after she’d had Giorgio.

She’d known only subliminally what it was she wanted from him then, but she acknowledged it with total cognizance now.

She ached for his respect!

Did this Magdelena have it? Did she have his tenderness as well as his passion?

Insidiously, as she remembered the way he had kissed her and the feel of those tanned, slightly callused hands moving over her body, that familiar tension began stealing through her blood.

Hastily she threw off the shower-switch, realising where her thoughts were taking her. How could she be
