L'honneur des Mantini

Résumé

Sur la route de l’Italie, Donna est heureuse : Toni ne doit-il pas la présenter à sa famille et annoncer aux siens la naissance de leur futur enfant ? Ce que Donna ignore, en revanche, c’est que Toni est lui-même un enfant capricieux et inconséquent, et qu’il dépend entièrement de son frère aîné, un riche industriel italien.

Or, la rencontre entre Donna et ce dernier est plus que houleuse. L’aîné des Mantini, en effet, ne cache pas son mépris à Donna qu’il accuse de n’être qu’une intrigante, uniquement intéressée par la fortune de la famille. Même si cela ne l’empêche pas d’être tombé immédiatement amoureux de sa future belle-sœur, et de vouloir lui faire payer très cher la culpabilité qu’il en éprouve...

Description en VO :

Whose baby?

When Donna discovered she was pregnant, and Toni Mantini proposed, she was overjoyed.

But Rinaldo Mantini wasn't. He suspected Donna of latching on to his younger brother to secure herself a wealthy life-style.

Then Toni was cruelly snatched away from them all, and Rinaldo insisted that Donna become his wife - he would not allow her baby to be born out of wedlock. To marry Rinaldo was to marry her greatest enemy, but how could Donna deny him the chance of being a father to his brother's child?

To marry Rinaldo was to marry her greatest enemy, but how could Donna deny him the chance of being a father to his brother's child?
