If she's carrying the Mastroianni heir, that can mean only one course of action for Francesco: marriage!
 

My Review:

Mmm!  This was kind of nice.  They had a whirlwind holiday romance, and he was about to propose, but then he "found out" she was supposedly a gold-digger, he dumped her in a bitingly short letter that implied he'd moved on to other women.  The heroine hates his guts and thinks him a cad and womanizer.  When he realizes she's pregnant and it's his baby, he wants to support her financially but he's bitter about her using him last time for money.  She scared him off women, which I liked, I'm glad he didn't rush blindly into bed with other women, it's a trite way for a man/woman to soothe their ego and it's over-used.  I liked seeing him distrust women and throw them off him, because he wasn't ready to open himself up with women again.  Slowly he started to see that he might have been wrong about the heroine.
