Secrets Unforgotten... Truth Revealed. Antonia quivered as the door closed behind them. Why wouldn't Lance leave it alone? She had done all she could. She couldn't change the past. Couldn't... As past and present interweave in her mind, Antonia relives the terror that cast her from her Sonoma home and carried her to New York with Marco Michelli, the man who vowed to protect her...who became the husband she now realizes she hardly knew. Two generations after Antonia's exile, Rese Barrett is swept into Lance Michelli's volatile family in the Little Italy of the Bronx, where she finds a culture and way of life as baffling as it is welcoming. These are the people Lance loves with the fierce, unflagging devotion that pulled him back from Sonoma - where her own uncertain future waits. Some things might be better left in the shadows of the past, but Lance doesn't have that option. With his grandmother clinging to life, as fragile as a spider's thread, he struggles to unravel a complex web of lies and secrets. Is his family's history as shameful as Nonna Antonia believes, or is it more treacherous than anyone imagines?
