Unexpected Obsession / Barbara Strickland

Love or Obsession? Or both? The boy she knew has become a domineering man with an obsessive need for order. Nico meets every attempt at peace with anger and resentment and eyes that watch her with something she is afraid to identify. An alpha male in every sense of the word Nico both fascinates and frightens her. The Mediterranean sun heats her skin; Nico heats her blood. A past tragedy tore two families apart "Family is everything." With those words a constant mantra in her head, Lia travels from Sydney to Sicily determined to heal a rift. The promise she made to her dying father drives her to succeed in the face of an embittered older woman's hatred. Will something new emerge from the ashes of the past? Lia is everything Nico has never wanted. He has the perfect job, the perfect life, and the perfect woman who caters to his every whim. Yet from the moment Lia arrives she becomes his obsession. Something about her undermines all his beliefs. When Destiny steps in with its own agenda, passion will overrule propriety and common sense and decisions and events will change lives. With touchy family dynamics and a childhood hero refusing to come to the rescue, Lia needs to rethink her next move. A perfect relationship, too perfect. She needed to be punished for the way she made him feel. She ran. He followed. Has she has taken on more than she can handle or has Nico?
