About the book

When Georgia arrived in Italy to teach English to young Alessa Valori, she felt everything was heading in the right direction. But the minute she met Luca Valori, Alessa's uncle and the famed ex-motor racing champion, she was thrown completely off track! Should she pretend that she didn't feel the same smoldering desire as Luca, and risk a lifetime of regret? Or throw caution to the winds, and maybe become just another of Luca's conquests? Whichever road Georgia chose to travel, both were signposted with one clear warning: heartbreak dead ahead!
