In Make Him Stay, Giuliana Baci, oldest of the three sisters, has returned to her hometown to manage the mess that is the Tanti Baci winery. They agreed to give it a year before selling out, but as the deadline approaches, complicating matters is the tension between her and her neighbor and first love, Liam Bennett, who has been smoldering at her for months. Their past left scars but hasn’t cooled the desire they feel for each other. Can she continue to keep him at arm’s length?


 Liam Bennett has not for an instant forgotten Giuliana and what he’s always felt for her. But the woman maddens him even as he’d do anything to make things right between them…if only so they can move freely on to their separate lives. Once passion overwhelms their qualms and they tumble into bed, however, Liam realizes he doesn’t want to live on past memories of his Baci girl. Instead, he must persuade her they are meant to have a future too.


 Note: This book was previously published as Can’t Hurry Love. This edition includes some extras.
