I found myself completely immersed in the love story of Angelina and Paolo, in what is at once a heartfelt romance, a compelling war story, and a meticulously-researched historical thriller.”- Lisa ScottolineA love forbidden. A truth buried. A nation on the brink.1915, southern Italy. Angelina Ruffolo, the daughter of a powerful baron, yearns for more than a life of quiet obedience. But her family's plans don’t include Paolo—the soft-spoken gardener whose radical ideals and quiet courage have captured her heart. When Paolo is wrongly accused of M**der in a failed attempt to halt Italy’s march into war, Angelina is thrust into a world of secrets, lies, and deadly consequences.As Paolo is forced from Pr*son to the front lines, and Angelina risks everything to uncover the truth, their bond is tested by betrayal, shifting allegiances, and the brutal tide of war.
