Rome, Italy: "You are looking for love for a long time," she says. "Your soul needs this. Without this love you are only half alive."

Though she dreams of more, the ever-practical fifty-year-old Toscana Blake has settled for a "nice" husband and a "comfortable" marriage. There's no magic. But when she travels to Italy for Rome's chocolate festival, she's startled by visions at the Temple of Vesta and an unexpected meeting with Flynn Harris, a young history professor, who feels strangely familiar.

As Flynn helps her unravel the mysteries of her visions, Toscana finds herself falling for her new friend. And when a psychic tells her she's been searching for love for many years and is only half-alive, she fears there's no way back to the world she understood.

From Atlanta to Rome to the lushness of Tuscany, Toscana embarks on an emotional journey that tests the bonds of love and friendship. Will her sensible side prevent her from accepting that she deserves a happily ever after?

A sweeping tale of self-discovery, passion, and finding love later in life amid the majesty of Italy. This enchanting sequel to The Sacred Flame will capture your heart, your hopes, your dreams.
