    Just when she's starting to process the sudden loss and pick up the threads of her life, she meets a man who could change everything. She is certainly not looking for romance, but Luca Abramo is brooding, mysterious and devastatingly attractive. Though she senses there is a darkness to him, she is powerless to resist the overwhelming current of desire that flows between them. Every moment she spends with him, she loses a little more of herself, and the ability to walk away is no longer something she can take for granted.
