Gianni Ricci has been hiding her love for years. She knows the dangers of openly keeping a lover and, having narrowly escaped society's censorship multiple times in the past, has no wish to let the outside world intrude on her happiness or that of her family. But things are becoming complicated. Francesco Corsi wants the world to know his love for her. He wants her in his life and has gone so far as to buy a home for them far away from prying eyes. Can she really give in to this fairy tale? Will a trip to their new home work the magic he hopes and she secretly desires?
