Timothy Giannato is a twenty-nine-year-old Italian multimillionaire who no longer believes in love, not since his girlfriend of more than a year of relationship, was unfaithful with a co-worker. Now Timothy prefers to live life on his own terms, no strings attached, no love, no suffering. 
Melody Redford is a twenty-two-year-old young woman, an animal and book lover, in her fifth semester of college studying veterinary medicine. Thanks to a night of drinking and partying, she became unexpectedly pregnant and her boyfriend Richard did not admit it and urged her to get rid of the problem. 
Melody’s family was no help either and forced her to make the most difficult decision any woman could make: to abort her child or to leave home and raise her child alone. 
Melody refused to have an abortion, so she was only three months pregnant when she moved in with her friend Lucy and got a job at a coffee shop to pay for doctor’s appointments and prenatal pills. 
That’s how she realized that it was going to be impossible for her to sustain a decent life for when her child was born. She was willing to do anything to avoid going back to her parents for help, let alone calling Richard. 
What neither of them imagined was that fate had an awfully bad joke for both of them, and it would show them that it is never too late to trust again.

The Italian's Proposal

He planned to tell her after establishing a good situation and dynamic with Melody. But days passed and nothing was flowing between them.

And he wasn’t exactly doing his part to make it easy for her either.

/"You don’t know her, but you will, soon enough,/" at least he hoped so. If he managed to find Melody. Considering she was gone, and he was so confused when she took off, he had no idea where to start looking for her.

/"I hope so. Is she Italian? The papers haven’t been good about her, you must give a statement Timi,/" his mother added this last comment, a little calmer and more concerned, which he silently appreciated. /"You know the press is vicious. You can’t let your marriage start with bad comments. We’re a pretty well-known family./"

/"More when there’ s someone in the press who hates me./" Gia must have been behind all those bad comments.
