In order to satisfy a contract created by his late father and claim a priceless heirloom fire diamond, Lazz Dante must marry a complete stranger: Ariana Romano. He and his beautiful Italian bride intend to make it a temporary marriage, just long enough to satisfy the terms of the contract before parting ways. It's a dispassionate and logical solution to an ill-conceived situation.
What they don't count on is The Inferno striking when they share their first kiss as husband and wife. Nor do they count on being sent off on a secluded, romantic honeymoon where desire rules the day and passion the night. Most of all they don't count on the fact that the heirloom fire diamond is missing or that it's Ariana's father who's responsible.
Will their marriage end in disaster and disillusionment? Or will The Inferno provide them with the ultimate prize: a forever love?
