The forgotten daughter of a Sicilian dynasty meets a handsome veteran with a painful past in this dramatic and sensual international romance.

Air force veteran Zack Scott wakes from nightmares to the echo of gunfire. Suddenly, he finds himself not in his fighter jet but at a black-tie party in Sicily, serving a tour of duty as a Senator's son. Confused and distressed, he rages against the soft caress of Lia Corretti, the young woman sweetly showing him pity.

For years the forgotten Corretti has hidden her pain behind a façade. So Lia recognizes the shadows in Zack's eyes. But the alluring heat she feels between them is unlike anything she's experienced before. Can these two guarded souls lower their defenses long enough to find a lasting connection?
