But once upon a time, he was just Summer to Carrie Ann—before a decade of blockbuster hits skyrocketed his success into superstardom. Summer was smart, gorgeous, and cocky as hell. Nothing was out of … Nothing was out of his reach. Not even Carrie Ann Lowell. He was the love of her life—until he shattered her heart. Their breakup left more than a profound rift in her soul.

Not even for him.
No matter how deliciously tempting.
With sparks flying and hidden truths unraveling, will Carrie Anne be able to deny her desires to save herself from another heartbreak?

Holding On To Hope
Oh my heavens ….I do love The Italian…a.k.a Antonia !
We the readers had the privilege of becoming acquainted with him in JC’s story. Antonio is certainly a man you will not soon forget. He is tall, dark , handsome.. that should be enough but now top it with suave, sophisticated and caring . Ms. Preston certainly knows how to write us a leading man.
Hope is a world renowned sommelier . She does not answer to anyone and certainly does not need a man to compete her world, although she doesn’t mind if they warm her bed occasionally.
Hope and Antonio’s worlds cross paths many times over several years. The days they spend together are always unforgettable , but no ties , no commitment that’s their deal . It is what they both want…or is it? Hope is pleasantly surprised that each time she returns to Antonio’s family vineyard that he is still an eligible bachelor .
Hope is taken on a journey that she never thought she would find herself traveling. She is a strong independent women never in need of anyone to help her but now Antonio appears when she finds herself in the most need.
Fate has a strange way of bring two souls together when they need it the most!
Loved the story of Hope and Antonio .
