Abby's Italian tour guide is charming, sweet, devastatingly handsome - and has a dangerous secret that could destroy everything.

Stuck in a dead-end customer service job she hates, Abby is in desperate need of change. Her anxiety keeps her from taking too many risks, but she needs some inspiration to get her creative juices flowing again. What better way to inject a change of pace into her life than to go on a trip to Italy with two of her best friends?\

The first moment Emilio saw Abby, he knew she would be his biggest challenge ever. As a tour director based out of Florence, he's never crossed that line with one of his group members. When a family secret about his past is revealed, he finds it harder to stay away from Abby. But, what kind of future could they have with four thousand miles and a dark past between them?

When they're reminded just how short life can be, will they finally take that risk together?

Readers will enjoy a found family, an athletic FMC looking for inspiration, an Italian MMC searching for the truth, and spicy open-door scenes with a guaranteed HEA. It can be read as a standalone.
