Five years ago, Teia Cloto left Naples after a three-day romance with the deliciously charming Alden Colle, determined not to dwell on him again. Or fall for men like him, especially when Teia's ancient dating history suggests they rarely keep their promises. Teia now has a successful career and a carefully constructed life built on sensible choices. But beneath the surface, the threads holding her ordered world together have quietly begun to unravel. When Teia returns to Italy to visit relatives in Turin, the worst thing she believes could happen is a bit of family drama with her espresso and cannoli. What she doesn't expect is for old ghosts and old feelings to resurface among medieval villages and ancient ruins. As the past begins pulling at threads Teia thought she'd long since severed, she finds herself questioning whether certain people ever truly leave us, or whether some love stories wait patiently for a second chance to be told. **Some scenes are of a sexual nature, though not explicit. There are also mythological references to self-harm.

Arch Manning knows the eyes of the world are on him. Football is more than a game, it's his birthright. He has a family tradition to uphold, a team to lead, a national championship, and maybe even a Heisman Trophy, to win. He's spent two excruciating years paying his dues, biding his time. He's finally QB1 of the Texas Longhorns, the preseason number one team in the country. He's gotten there by staying focused, putting in work and keeping his relationships casual. Vivian Murphy didn't even really want to attend the University of Texas, but over the last two years, Austin has become home. She left trauma and tragedy behind in North Carolina. She's focused on a double major and tennis, in that order. And she prefers to keep her past quiet. But she's about to meet someone who will make that impossible. So, yeah, it's been a minute since I wrote anything. Life has calmed down (a little), some voices have returned and I might have actually found a couple of guys who demand as much attention as Grayson. Usual disclaimers, it's fiction, I know absolutely nothing and no one, there will be swearing, non-explicit sex and some dark topics. And my taste in music hasn't necessarily improved.
