Romance Suspense

When the Di Luca matriarch is attacked in her home, Rafe Di Luca returns to the family's resort run by his brother. Rafe intends to find out who harmed his grandmother. As the owner of a security firm, Rafe has the means and the know-how to investigate what is going on and who is trying to destroy his family.

Once, Brooke Peterson loved Rafe with her whole heart until he walked away without looking back. His being back should be easier to bear but it isn't. As the concierge for the resort, Brooke knows just about everything there is to know about the employees and the people in town. If Rafe can be professional and ignore what happened between them so can she, at least long enough to get to the truth; then he can once again disappear out of her life. Rafe is not as immune as he hoped to be but uncovering a family feud keeps him busy enough that he just might get away with ignoring his feelings. The discovery of a dead body by Brooke not only shows Rafe how much they belong together, it also brings danger to her front door.

A sexy trio of brothers, hidden secrets, and murder combine to give readers a great summer read. Ms. Dodd always delivers consistent storytelling in whatever genre she's writing for. SECRETS OF BELLA TERRA pulls the reader in from page one and keeps you eagerly reading until the very end.

SUMMARY

Brooding and sexy Rafe Di Luca has returned to his family's luxurious vineyard resort for one reason: to find out who attacked his beloved grandmother. His homecoming stirs up a decades-old feud, forcing him to work with Brooke Petersson, the woman he once seduced and betrayed...but never forgot.

As the danger escalates and their passion threatens to consume them both, Brooke fights her treacherous longing for a man who can never fully share his life. Remembering how his love once shattered her, she vows that Rafe may possess her body, but never again will she trust him with her fiercely guarded heart.

The peril they face will either bring them together or destroy them both...unless they uncover the secret that will change everything.
