~Love ~ Lust ~ Greed ~ Jealousy ~ Murder ~

After an accident took the life of Sophie Winters' first husband Brian, alone in Nashville, and without any relatives left, Sophie moved back to Amalfi, Italy where she was born to start her life over. Her intent was to, hopefully, find true love someday, and have a large family. Jamie England was the catalyst to her happiness. Her father with his hurtful indifference toward her since she was born, left her an inheritance that made her wealthy. Jamie had no idea what he was to become when he married Sophie and began his family. His priority becomes safety, to protect Sophie and their children against Jamie's vengeful and greedy ex-wife, Candace, palpable threats from within their circle of employees, and dangerous persons lurking on the outside fringe of their lives planning to commit murder and kidnapping. Sophie transformed from a young widow, with no family, a history filled with family secrets, including her real identity--to a strong woman who survived the worst of tragedies.

The following is an excerpt when Jamie first arrives in Italy:

Jamie leaned against the cabana wall, hands in his pockets and one foot crossed in front of the other, contemplating what to do next. He personified a determined man on his way to the pool, but he froze when he found her sleeping naked on the double wide lounge. He could feel his pulse beating hard in his chest. Only twenty feet to go, yet he couldn't make his legs move. His breathing was shallow and fast. He'd made it this far, but the sight of her unnerved him. "I have been in love with her for a long time, even though I tried to convince myself otherwise. I can't screw this up. Dear God, help me, I can't screw this up." He approached her slow and steady, as a predator stalking its prey. He sat down on the side of the lounge. A clip held up her hair. Her arms curled above her head as she slept on a plush towel. He melted inside, savoring how soft her skin glowed. She is more beautiful than ever.He gazed at the curves of her breasts pushing out under the weight of lying on them and took in a sharp breath through his teeth. His eyes followed the curve of her back and he lingered on her hips, cheeks, and thighs. He wanted to run his fingers over the outline of her body, and he etched the sight in his mind. She was alluring. Afraid to wake her, he inhaled a deep breath for courage. The aroma of the sea air mixed with the scent of her body lotion intoxicated him.
