Dark Secrets & Sweet Kisses

Searching for the truth was all fun and games...until protecting their hearts became the real challenge...

Nurse Carmen Rossi is a natural-born helper, ready to give a hand to whoever is in need. So, she was happy to organize her cousin's wedding and make it the biggest event the small town of Cirella had ever seen. And while she did that, she could definitely solve the mystery of who hurt her patient's nephew. But she wasn't prepared to work with a real cop on the case…and she certainly wasn't ready for her attraction to him…

Detective Emiliano Segatti lives for his job, but right now, he could use a break from it. Still, when the star witness in his case against an infamous mafia boss escapes custody, his plans for a mellow vacation in Cirella are ruined. To catch the fugitive, Emiliano will need to stake out those who helped the police catch the guy in the first place—which leads him to Carmen. Helping the woman in her sleuthing adventure is only an excuse to shadow her, yet the more time Emiliano spends with Carmen, the more he realizes that protecting her isn't the real challenge. Ignoring his untimely feelings for her, however, is.

As the investigation turns more and more intricate, Emiliano and Carmen must work against the clock to make sense of the riddles surrounding them. Can this unusual detective team solve their case and find their way to happily ever after?

In book two of the Cirella Bay series, return to the sunny coast of Italy and get the full story of Lucilla's wedding, Nonna Bria's new host, and Carmen's adventurous road to a happily ever after!
