Alessia Russo arrives in the sun soaked Ruskan coast of Italy for a summer she hopes will heal her heart. But when she meets Leonardo Ferraro, her cousin's best friend, disciplined, brooding and infuriatingly handsome, peace quickly slips away.
He's infuriating, impossible and she is inexplicably drawn to him.
From heated arguments to stolen moments beneath the tuscan sun, enemies slowly turn into something dangerous, love. But secrets and grief they carrie could tear them apart before they ever have a chance to fall in love.
