Gabriella has lived next the Martinez family since she was little; her father was the groundskeeper and lived on the property in a small cottage near the main house and her mother wasn't around. Gabby while spending time at the main house with Maria in the kitchen would run into, from time to time, Lorenzo Martinez. He was smart, sexy and kind. Gabriella would always fantasize about him over the years and dream of one day marring him. Now Gabriella is graduating from college and getting ready to set out on her own when her father comes to her with a proposal, of sorts. Over the years, Ace has had some gambling debts that old Mr. Carlo Martinez has helped him out of and now he has come to collect. But instead of money, Carlo has a much different plan; Gabriella will marry Lorenzo and all will be cleared. Although Gabriella has always wanted to be with Lorenzo, she is unsure if this is the best idea but she could never let her father down and so she agrees.Now Lorenzo and Gabriella are married and they must try and make this marriage work and Gabriella really wants this to work. She feels herself falling in love with him but she is unsure how he feels about her. Little does she know, Lorenzo has been watching her since she was 17 years old and has always looked after her best interests.

He's passion for his family, his job and Gabriella are what drive him. The many ways he shows her how much he care is astounding and slowly but sure, she begins to see it. And once these two are on the same page, nothing can come between them. They will fight to be together come hell or high water. This was an inciting book that keeps you captivated until the end!!
