A coin
Months ago at the Trevi Fountain, Callie Langston wished for a matinee idol to sweep her off her feet. Instead, she got an action hero! A battle-scarred but sexy security expert used to danger and ready for love…
A proposal
Days ago, Joe Russo went down on one knee and put a ring on her finger. But before she can answer him, safe, predictable Callie is heading back to Italy, permanently, on one crazy Christmas adventure.
A wedding?
Joe is everything she’s wished for and more. But Callie’s waited her whole life to live. Among the timeless beauty and ancient traditions of Christmas in Rome, she’s got to decide: Will it be the plan…or the man?
He knew exactly where to find her.
Watching the Trevi Fountain come to life, water spilling from it into the basin.
“Callie.”
Her hips swiveled. Her head turned. Those soul-stripping eyes locked with his. “Hello, Joe. Tracking me down again?”
“We need to talk.”
She gave a short laugh. “I thought that was my line.”
He sat beside her on the edge of the fountain.
“Do you remember the last time we were here?” she asked after a moment, her gaze on the glistening water.
“I remember.”
“I made a wish then. Should I tell you what it was?”
Joe wasn’t sure he wanted to know. When he made a noncommittal sound, she angled her chin and pinned him with those incredible eyes.
“I wished for a dreamy romantic hero right out of the movies,” she confessed.
“Sorry. Looks like you’re zero for three.” He didn’t see himself as dreamy or romantic or heroic.
“Maybe I should make another wish.” Eyes closed, she looked as though she was sorting through dozens of possibilities before settling on one. Then she sent the coin sailing toward the fountain.
“What did you wish for this time?”
She smiled. “You’ll just have to wait and see.”
