Nothing I’d discovered about her thus far had given me any indication she was as self-absorbed as I believed she was. Not more than a reasonably face, focused on partying and fairly garments.

Removed from it.

And never in a thousand years would I’ve pegged her as an environmentalist.

However utterly misplaced.

The island’s appeal unfolded round us on our approach to Valetta. It had been a few years since I’d taken the time to roam the island like a vacationer.

It had been a few years since I centered on the rest however the enterprise and following in my father’s footsteps.

Solely, he wasn’t my father.

I used to be not a Falcone.
