ON HOLD | Alessia has known the Norris family since childhood, especially Cisca, who was her inseparable best friend. After her family moved away years ago, they kept in touch, but Alessia never saw Lando again...until now. When she's invited on the Norris family vacation, everything changes. To Lando, she's no longer the little girl who used to run after Cisca in the garden; she's grown into someone breathtaking, with eyes that unsettle him and a quiet strength he can't ignore. But with Lando tangled in a public relationship with Portuguese model Magui Corceiro, Alessia unknowingly steps into the center of a storm, between the life Lando's team built for him and the one his heart begins to crave.
