Sweet Temptation by Cora Reilly

later surrounded by his family. Giulia had been right. Making peace with Father
hadn’t just set him free but also me.
“How’s our boy?” I asked like I did every evening when I came home. Tonight, I
hadn’t made it for dinner—a rare occasion. Giulia’s due date was in a few days.
After Father’s funeral and Luca’s warning to Felix, things had settled down.
Now we could look forward to the future.
