“I’ve got the dish on the Bertinalli clan.” Eden looked up from the laptop as she spoke.
Ciana sat in front of her makeup mirror, smoothing on mascara. “I hate mascara. I look like a raccoon after a couple of hours.”
Arie, lying on her belly across Ciana’s bed, was leafing through a travel book about the art treasures in Rome and offered, “My lashes are the color of sand—when I have eyelashes.”
“Are you listening to me?” Eden snapped. “I’ve done some major research and Web hunting on Enzo and his family.”
“Did I ask you to research him?” Ciana was uptight about the upcoming date but refused to let her friends know. This was a new avenue for her, dating a man like Enzo, a native Italian, who looked as if he belonged on the cover of GQ magazine. He was way out of her comfort zone. As if she had one when it came to men. Except for one man, the one she couldn’t have. But it was time to move on, and why not here in Italy?
“Listen, missy, we’re not sending you out on a date with him without knowing more about him than what he told us last week. Maybe he’s a liar.”
Ciana turned to Eden, sitting cross-legged on the floor beside the dressing table. “I’m going out with him in broad daylight. I think I can handle it.”
“Humor me.”
“Yeah, humor her,” Arie echoed.
Ciana returned to her makeup mirror chores. “Is he a liar?”
“No. But you need to know some things. Stuff he didn’t tell us. He’s twenty-nine, the youngest sibling of three. Kind of old, don’t you think?”
“Ten years. That’s not so much of a gap.” She’d had a birthday in late July.
“His brother, Gino, is thirty-six and a real playboy. Sleeps with movie stars and models and other men’s wives. Had some party on his yacht last year and three people fell overboard and almost drowned.”
“I’m not going out with his brother.”
“And his sister just married some prince in Austria. She’s thirty-two, and this is her third marriage.”
“And Enzo? What do the tabloids write about him?”
Eden sniffed. “Actually, he appears to be the only heir who’s serious about the family wine business.”
“Fascinating,” Ciana said drolly. “And after all that hard surfing work you did. Turns out he’s just what he says he is.”
“Not so fast. He’s a serial dater. He’s with a different woman in every photo.”
“So what?” But a glance at the computer screen told Ciana she wasn’t approaching the glamour level of Enzo’s typical arm candy. And yet when he’d called and asked her to spend the afternoon with him, she’d been flattered and had agreed. Now she was anxious.
The sound of a car engine made all three girls jump. Arie made it to the bedroom window first and looked out at the front driveway. “Wow. He’s driving a Ferrari.”
“Seriously?” Eden pushed Arie aside and looked down.
A sleek jet-black convertible with red upholstery came to a stop directly below.
“Eric had a poster of one on his bedroom wall when he was a kid.
