The Italian Effect

by Josie Metcalfe

Lissa had gone to San Vittorio to discover her Italian roots and heal a broken heart. She found an injured child with a father to die for: The emergency doctor, Mateo Aldarini, couldn't help but show his appreciation of the beautiful English doctor who saved his son's life. He healed Lissa's heart--but then he broke it once more! After his first wife betrayed him and deserted him and his son, Matt could not--however much he wanted to--make himself vulnerable to a woman again. Lissa returned to England--only to discover Italy was where her heart belonged.
