About the book
When Philippa Davidson, 23, awoke in an attractive, sunny bedroom, she realized she had no idea where she was--or who she was, either. A face had haunted her, but when she opened her eyes she knew that the dark Italian man beside her was more than a vision.
Corrado Bennoni, 32, looked down at his young bride's blank expression and knew he'd been given a great gift...a chance to prove his love to the woman who'd married him. The past was a weight that had haunted him--but now, without her memories, he was determined to make Philippa stay... for love alone.
