Isabella hasn't had the best life one could hope for. In fact, it's been terrible. She's troubled, she's sassy, she's built a wall around her heart that she feels will never come down. She's been let down time and time again. Only to get back up and have to do it all over.
She meets Dante Marino unexpectedly. He's taken to her right away. However, with the wall she has built, it's going to take more than a few pick up lines to get under her skin. With her quick witted lines and dry sense of humor, she wins Dante over. She turns him down time after time and he just keeps going back for rejection..... Dante has a dark secret, however. It looms over his head every time he sees her.
Will Dante break through Isabella's tough exterior? Will his secret keep her from getting any closer to him if he does? There's going to be trying times, and one of them may even be another man. How will this play out? Well, dear reader, I guess you'll have to find out.
