Book #1

Brooke Turner has always had a complicated relationship with
her father. But when his health takes a turn for the worse, she
drops everything to care for him. He's her dad, after all, and he
needs her. What Brooke doesn't anticipate is the unraveling of
her long-term relationship and a cross-country move to San
Diego's Little Italy. Luca D'Angelo is the oldest of three
children and a single father to a young daughter. When his mother rents the
top floor of their house to Brooke, he's angry. Who is this beautiful stranger
with no ties to the neighborhood? Can she be trusted in such close proximity
to his family? As Luca learns of Brooke's difficult journey with her ailing
father, his heart softens. And Brooke, who witnesses Luca's struggle as a
single parent, develops feelings for him, too. But when it all falls apart, will
love heal their wounded hearts?
