Charlock’s Curse by Leah Moyes

Digging into the past, you just might find yourself closer than you intended.
Mention the word Padre around Nico at your own risk.
Raised by a strong Italian mother on the Amalfi Coast, twenty-one-year-old Nico Ricci had no desire to know anything about the man his mother referred to only as her English beau…his birth father. That is until Gabriella Ricci dies suddenly and unexpectedly without her ever getting her happily ever after.
Now Nico wants revenge.
When he discovers an old love letter in his mother’s possessions, the man’s identity is revealed. Nico travels from Italy to England, determined to confront him with his dishonorable selfishness, only to discover that more than one secret awaits him at Charlock Manor.
