The story begins not too long after Adam kisses Ella goodbye and heads to Brazil. He still feels the need to protect her from his tortured past. In Brazil he sees the damage that his father Claudio has inflected. Though his mother made light of it the bandage on her face that only serves to infuriate him. He still hasn't forgiven himself for his mom getting hurt when he was younger her limp a painful reminder. All the while worrying about his family and doubling security he worries about Ella back in Newport. Wanting her with him but afraid of what his father will do once he knows about her. Back in Newport while continuing to work on her book she misses Adam. She realizes just how much he's changed her life for the better. The phone calls between them have become less frequent so she decides despite the danger to leave her life in Newport to be with Adam the man she loves. She arrives in Brazil at his family home to first be greeted by bodyguards but are then welcomed by his sister and mother. When she wakes from a nap she sees just how happy Adam is to see her there. Despite the unrelenting threats from his father he manage to romance Ella and show her everything Brazil has to offer. The beaches and the fantastic cuisine she could see what was to love about the beautiful and vibrant country. She falls more in love with Adam and instantly falls in love his family. Adam begins to freely allow himself to love but most importantly be loved. Adoring Ella with everything he had brought them to a new level of intimacy neither thought possible. He begin to open up to Ella more about his tortured childhood and the people in it. How he was locked in a small room to finish projects for his father(which explained his need for a big bright home) and was forbidden to have friends or someone love him. The one that claimed to be in love with him in childhood (Vee) was locked away. Which that same person came back to stake her claim but to no avail. Adam and Ella is so much alike in many ways no wonder they were drawn to each other. Adam lived his childhood to make his father happy which left him miserable thankfully he had the love of his mother and sister to keep him going. Then Ella's parents? Even though she had her best friend she had never known love until she met Adam to be genuinely loved and adored she never knew it could be like this. Different sides to the same coin Adam and Ella are blessed to have found each other. Even though the fear is real the love they have for each other makes them even stronger to conquer and persevere through it. It'll be interesting to see how things will be when they won't have to live with the looming threat of his father. So much for a guy Adam's age to worry about. Hopefully he can find what he needs to be rid of his father and really live his life as he was meant too. He essentially escape one emotional prison to only be placed in another one. Though thankfully there's nothing his father could do to diminish Adam and Ella's love for each other.
