Italian Count's Command

Miranda's Dilemma

Miranda still loves her estranged husband, Count Dante Severini, and she would do anything to be with him and their son. But Dante clearly hates her--treating her like an unfaithful gold digger.

Much as it pains him to do so, Dante has had no choice but to believe the evidence against his wife. He had wanted nothing more to do with Miranda--but their son has been missing his mother.

His Dramatic Command

So he issues her a dramatic command: Miranda must come to live with him in his Italian palazzo. In exchange for a life of unparalleled luxury she must pretend that they are happily married... that she is his loving, willing wife.
