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

The months that followed the wedding, despite the fear and uncertainty, both women began to see each other with different eyes, offering their support, as much in Melody’s pregnancy as in Timothy’s father’s illness.

Melody remembered feeling Timothy so close to her, the moment she looked at herself in the mirror on her wedding day, her face was bright and full of joy, she was finally going to marry the man she loved. Timothy’s father’s life was beginning to slip away faster than they imagined and wanted it to. His father-in-law was deteriorating and there was nothing that money or caring could do.

Timothy suffered in silence. Although he said nothing to her, Melody was aware of his pain and tried to give him all the support she could. Only a miracle could save him.
