When she is attacked on the streets of Rome one night, a stranger steps in to save her. She falls for this tall, muscular guy, but is he who he says he is? Uncovering his story changes the course of her vacation, and her life.
Stefano is a beaten man. The fight was his chance to show the boxing world that he was ready to turn pro, and he lost. Everything he has worked for since he was 8 years old is about to come crashing down around him. Succumbing to the pressure, he runs. His destination? His ancestral homeland – Italy. Away from the restrictive life of an athlete, he is free to do as he pleases, but women couldn’t be further from his mind. Fate, however, has other plans. It pushes him into the path of an irresistible young woman, who lowers his guard and helps him see what he really wants in life.
A story of a blossoming romance, set against the beautiful backdrop of Rome and Tuscany.
