An Awakening Desire

Emma wasn't looking for romance. Love was a closed chapter in her life now that the husband she had adored was dead. That didn't mean, however, that she couldn't pick up the pieces and make a new life for herself. Her trip to Italy was a step in that direction, a bid for independence. But was she ready to deal with a man like Nick Castelli? Arrogant, demanding, and very sure of what he wanted, he pursued Emma with a passion that scared her as much as it excited her. He would never take no for an answer.
