Blue-eyed Stranger
Thrilled with his response, Caitlyn beamed. And equally as abruptly, her delight morphed into awkwardness. Suddenly, she didn’t know what she wanted to know about him. All of it—everything—but she couldn’t think of a single specific question to ask. Breaking the ice had been Alex’s forte. It wasn’t something she knew how to do.
Her thoughts quickly derailed as, near the center of the room, their tour director stood, clanging a metal spoon against a ringing glass.
“Excuse me, please. Excuse the interruption, please.” She lowered her voice as the conversation in the room faded and attention turned to her. “If you are a member of my tour—a member of Caroline’s tour—would you please meet me in the hotel’s lobby in fifteen minutes?”
“What’da’ya suppose that’s about?” Duke whispered.
Beside him, Caitlyn only shrugged.
“There’s been a change of plans since our discussion after dinner last evening and I need to update the entire party,” Caroline conti

Italy With A Duke Shifting Itinerary
Blanching, Caitlyn staggered backwards, crashing against the wall. Her heart spun inside her chest like a hummingbird’s wings and her breath came in frantic little pants. There was only one way the blue-eyed stranger could know that she hadn’t looked at her phone since they’d arrived in Italy. He had been trying to reach it. Which meant that he knew who she was, even if she didn’t know him. For a long minute, she racked her brain, searching for any possible connection. Any possible way she might know him. Aside from a striking similarity to Duke in both build and looks, and vaguely, the same sort of physical appeal, there was nothing. She had to get to her phone. Dashing forward, she snatched the paper towel message off the sink, wadding it up and tossing it in the bin quickly. She glanced up at her reflection in the mirror and a faint groan of anxiety escaped her. Her face was pale as a sheet. As attentive of a partner as Duke was, th
Italy With A Duke Subtleties
Caitlyn’s cellphone battery had less that ten percent left on it after four days off the charger, and even though they’d left Venice, she still had no service. With a frustrated sigh, she powered it off, then zipped it back inside the pocket of her carryon. “When we get to the hotel in Florence, would you mind if I used your phone to call my wireless carrier?” Next to her, Duke turned his head and stared at her, thoroughly perplexed. Though she knew it couldn’t be true, she couldn’t shake the impression that he was a tall, dark and handsome, walking, talking lie detector most of the time, and spending nearly every hour of her last four days with him had cemented it. It was subtle things—so subtle in fact that it hadn’t been until he’d said something about her not liking asparagus to the waiter at one of their meals without her every having mentioned it that she’d begun to think about it. To catalog all the exceptionally specific things he’d noticed about her.
Italy With A Duke Woes
Behind Duke and Caitlyn a few seats, Dex exhaled a disgusted sigh. He’d developed a genuine dislike for the big Texan who’d usurped him as Caitlyn Maddox’ Duke. Not because he cared one way or another about her—he was still on the trip, and frankly, enjoying himself since he didn’t have to babysit and entertain her. Still, he felt a little bad. She was being taken in, taken advantage of, and in the end, he knew that a woman like her, well, she’d come out of this with a broken heart. That wasn’t what she’d signed up for. Shifting to one side, he slipped his phone from his slacks’ pocket. <Where are you!!??> he demanded again of Rachel, not expecting to receive a response. She hadn’t bothered to reply to any of his texts for the last twelve hours. When the phone vibrated in his hand a few seconds later, he glanced down at it in shock. <Atlanta. Layover before the flight to Venice> Venice? Internally, Dex groaned. <I thought you we
Italy With A Duke Arrival
“Oh!” Caitlyn huffed in frustration, extending Duke’s phone to him. “Here. There’s no point calling my carrier. My phone’s dead. I’ll have to charge it when I get to the room.”“Hmmph.” His brows lifted and he nodded in agreement. “Tends to happen when it hasn’t been used for four days. Not saying that’s your fault,” he tacked on hurriedly. “I’ll carry your bag. What room are you in?”“It has wheels. You don’t have to do that.”“Darlin’, I know what I do and don’t have to do. Me taking your luggage to your room isn’t debatable. It’s those manners you’re so fond of, right?” He gave her a pointed look, softening it with a heart-stopping smile that didn’t hide his personal agenda. “So what room are you in?”“Three twenty-five,” she inhaled. “But if you’re on a different floor—.”“I’m not.” He’d made damn sure he wasn’t the instant he’d checked in at the desk. Though the desk agent wouldn’t tell him which room she was in, he’d assured him they were on the same floor. “I think I’m across t
Italy With A Duke Lust for Life
Sometime in the minutes after the door had closed behind Duke, after Caitlyn had sunk weakly into the chair at the desk, her pulse slowed enough for her to think—really think—about where she was and what she was doing with this man.She was supposed to have been in Italy on her second honeymoon. Only her husband, and actually, her only true friend—the person who knew her best in the world— was dead. Yet even when they’d both known he wasn’t going to make it, he’d made her promise that she would go on the trip.In the long, depressed days after Alex’s passing, she’d wondered why he’d asked such a thing of her. What she had understood was that he’d never know whether or not she went. She harbored no delusions that he’d never again care whether she kept her promise or not. And as such, she hadn’t felt honor-bound to abide his dying wish.So why had she bothered to come?If she was honest with herself, she’d come because she wanted to. Because her own curiosity had demanded it and her hea
Italy With A Duke The Tale of Il Porcellino
It wasn’t the first time that Duke’s thoughts towards Caitlyn had veered—no, more like careened wildly at Mach speed—in a carnal direction. Far from it. Though he was honest enough with himself to admit, it was far more often since he’d won the lottery among the four agents assigned to her, and was the one appointed to follow her on this trip.No more was this simply a casual male reaction to a captivating woman, kept at a distance. He couldn’t see any other woman but her. Couldn’t desire another woman more.“So very beautiful,” he murmured again, fascinated by the sheen of gloss on her already mesmerizing mouth. The pale tint reminded him of the flushed way her lips looked when he’d kissed her roughly and he itched suddenly to do it again.“Duke,” she whispered.The sound of her voice chimed like cathedral bells in his head. A curling lock of her hair brushed his fingers beneath her chin, sending a hot, unsolicited rush of blood into his groin. Though it was dry, the flowery scent of
Italy With A Duke Trattoria di Gerardo
With one hand tucked snugly into Duke’s and her other trailing her scarf behind her, Caitlyn followed him down the wide avenue blocked at the near end with road barriers. Despite the dark, her eyes were turned upwards, examining the dark brown columned building beside her, trusting him to guide her safely. “What is this place? Why is it blocked off?” “The mercato. And it’s only blocked to vehicle traffic. During the daytime, this place is packed with people.” He rounded a corner to the right as they passed the last column, dragging her with him. “There.” As if to reinforce the idea of an enchantment, the Fontana del Porcellino rested to one side of the small court of closed shops, its snout gleaming brightly in the dim light. Despite the noise of the city, Caitlyn could clearly hear the trickle of the fountain’s water, a thin stream that dribbled from the boar’s opened mouth between its curved tusks. Unlike the rest of the bronze statue, the snout was
Italy With A Duke Heart and Soul of Fierenze
Urging Caitlyn to follow the older Gerardo, Duke closed rank behind her as they navigated the tight quarters of the restaurant.“Where is he taking us?” she whispered anxiously over her shoulder. “Every table is filled, every seat at the bar taken.”“Not to worry, darlin’. Gerardo’s been successful in business here for nearly fifty years.”Ahead the restauranteur made a sharp left, guiding them through a curtained door. On the other side, a long narrow room opened with more table seating tucked inside cozy partitions for privacy and romantic ambiance.“He knows how to take care of his VIPs,” he said smugly.“Oh!” she breathed, tipping her head back and slowing to a halt to take in the extraordinary design, created to give the impression of dining on an outdoor terrace. Murano-glass chandeliers resembling fruit-laden grapevines were suspended in the air from arbor beams over each booth and beyond them, the vaulted ceiling was painted a rich, midnight blue that sparkled with gold-leafed
