After five years of marriage, sacrifice, and hard work, Robert and Gia Hunter are about to live their dream in the city of Miami. With the opening of a new family law office, and a luxury jewelry store, what should be the happiest time of their lives quickly turns into a nightmare when they become targets of someone for reasons unknown.

To make matters worse, their marriage is tested when the two face fundamental disagreements on how Gia should handle a request from her imprisoned father.

While dangers confront the two from the outside, and constant fights plague them on the inside, will Gia and Rob unite and conquer the forces that threaten, or will their differences destroy them forever… 


Review

Rating: 4.5*


Gia and Robert are back. It took me a little time to settle back into their continued story as it had been a while but it soon felt like being amongst old friends. 

Gia and Robert's life is right on track when we re-join them. They are about to open physical locations of her jewellery making business and his law firm in the same building, whilst moving into their new home above their businesses. Everything is right on track...until Gia receives a phone call. It is an unwanted phone call from her past that potentially can destroy her happy present and future. 

But this is not the only event threatening their happiness, as their businesses suffer a serious of break-ins and unfortunate events. Could the events be connected? Who wants to hurt them so badly?

Gia has a strength of character about her, which shines through in her dealing of the events that unfold. She maintains her values and beliefs despite the fact that it could drive a wedge in their relationship. Robert's handling of her wishes is very much based on the past: the anger and the fear that he might lose Gia. The events of this book really tested their relationship to the limits and their ability to communicate and support each other.

I loved the feel of Gia and Robert together and I found myself wanting to shake Robert to wake him up and listen, truly listen to what GIa was saying. The events kept this book interesting alongside the relationship struggles. It all added so much to the next stage of their relationship.

Excerpt

Rob enters the bathroom minutes after I turn on the shower. Ordinarily, he’d join me, but after pulling away his shirt, he grabs a tube of shaving cream and I realize he has other plans—plans he’d usually let me help him with when we’re in the bathroom together.

Our first night here, I intended for it to be romantic and sexy. We have so much to be excited about. It was supposed to be the start of this new phase in our lives…it’s just not the way I had hoped it would be. And the way my husband has been looking at me lately, I’m not sure our problems will be resolved any time soon. I’m not sure if he’ll ever see me the same way again…

What can I say to him to make this all better?

But I’m afraid anything I say will only make it worse.

He hasn’t touched me in five days. And apart from the early stages in our relationship when I was almost killed over five years ago while I was recovering from surgery, that is not something I’m used to.

As I step out of the shower, I hear the question I’m afraid to hear the answer to spilling out of my mouth. “Do you still love me?”

He freezes at my question and stares me in the eye through my reflection in the mirror. “How could you ask me that? Why would you ask me that?”

I sense the anger in his voice and to avoid a fight before we leave for dinner, I walk away. “Don’t bother.”

In the bedroom, I open the closet in search of something to wear.

He follows me into the room. “I need you to tell me why you’d ask that.”

“Rob, I don’t want to fight.”

“Why?” he’s borderline shouting.

“Because, lately, when you look at me, all I ever see is disdain.”

His dark eyes suddenly lighten and his jaw, which was clenched before, relaxes.

A barrage of tears plummets down my cheeks. “Every time you speak to me now, all I hear is contempt and resentment in your words and when you’re not talking, I only see disappointment when I look you in the eye.

“If I had done something wrong, maybe I could understand, but it’s all because of a choice I made that I feel is right in my heart. You know, if you want to live the rest of your life carrying around anger and hate, then that’s your decision, but don’t abhor me for letting go and releasing the baggage in my life that has weighed me down for the last five years.”
