About the book
The choke was hers....
Cassandra would cross the earth to protect her young niece from the father who didn't deserve her. Unfortunately, Carlo Valenti was one step ahead of her.
But Cass wouldn't give up her niece without a fight. Not that this worried the handsome Italian--he had every legal right to custody of his daughter and an ace to play with Cass. They could raise the child they both loved--if she was willing to remain in Italy... with him.
