Four years ago Alessandro Marciano and Scarlett shared a passionate affair.  She discovers that she is pregnant and thinking everything will be okay she tells her lover, only to be tossed out in the middle of the night on her own!  He never even made sure she was okay.  He didn't care about her well-being Alessandro only cared that she betrayed him with another man!!  Because there was no way that he could have gotten her pregnant.  Now he has returned to her life and he blackmails her into decorating his hotel.I kind of like The Marciano Love-Child. I wasn't sure if I would like it because of the way Alessandro had treated Scarlett, but his reasons were explained well.  There were a few problems that I did have with the story but I felt that he was redeemable.  I didn't like the way he blackmailed her in to marrying him when he had denied the child was his for 4 years and even told her again that he didn't want the child - mind you the child was in the other room sleeping when he said this. Then of course he tells her no more children as though her desires don't matter.  Why couldn't he have compromised as there are other ways to have kids?  If Alessandro was so sure he couldn't reproduce then I'm guessing he didn't use protection - okay well obviously he didn't because she got pregnant - the guy got around a LOT!! So since obviously HP heroes only protect against pregnancy not diseases and since he wasn't firing blanks how many other little ones could be out there? Other than those few minor issues it was a good read.
