Sicilian Stranger — Nancy Barone

When the only man who can help you is the one who can hurt you the most…

When her fiancé disappears in Italy while trying to claim his inheritance, Shannon Banks has no choice but to go looking for him. But when she arrives in Sicily, a place John rarely spoke of, she discovers that the few things he had told her were lies. Not only is Shannon's fiancé not the man he claims to be, the family's castle is a wreck, and there are people who want the inheritance badly enough to kill.

John's arch-enemy and local sex-on-legs playboy, Damiano Malandrino, stands in Shannon's way to the truth. He is everything John never could be -- dangerous, passionate, demanding -- and stirs emotions Shannon never thought she was capable of. But are the rumors true? Did Damiano murder his fiancée who was previously promised to John?

As Shannon digs deep into the past, secrets upon secrets are unraveled, along with murder upon murder. How far is Damiano willing to go to protect his past, and will Shannon pay the price with her own life?
