The Quiet Between Them

Florence, 1478... city of splendor, secrets, and simmering treachery.
Matteo de’ Rossi, heir to one of Florence’s great banking houses, moves among princes and schemers. Beneath the polished banquets and humanist debates lies a pressure he cannot escape: alliances to forge, loyalties to display, and a marriage arranged to strengthen his family’s power.
But Matteo hides a truth more dangerous than politics. His heart belongs to Gianluca Colonna, a brilliant, passionate man whose kiss is as perilous as his dagger. Their love burns in the shadows of Renaissance Florence, where rumor can ruin and discovery can kill.
