The clock is ticking for Sarika Dkany.

Now her godmother's ill, and Rafe has returned to bring Sarika back to Santa Barbara-and back into his life. Except Sarika says she's over him. The clock is ticking for Rafael Fabrizio. For all of Rafe's trappings of success, he's a man wounded by his broken childhood and afraid to claim the only woman he's ever loved-until he discovers she plans to marry someone else. Facing a lifetime without her, Rafe vows to overcome his past and convince her he's capable of being the man she needs. But will Sarika trust him again with her heart? And is she willing to forgive the past and move into their new future?
