Carved Into My Heart — Ophelia Sikes

Hannah's world has fallen to pieces. Brandon had been all hers. A sea-god come to life. And then his ex-fiancee, Jessica, came slithering back into his life, her snake-like charm focused on one task.

To get Brandon back for herself.

The cruise around the Mediterranean is now half over. Time is ticking away. If Hannah doesn't figure out how to deal with Jessica, and reclaim Brandon's love, she might lose him.

Forever.

Carved Into My Heart is the second novella in the Italian Nights series. Due to the strong sexual content and adult situations, this book is recommended for readers aged 17+. The first three novellas have cliff-hanger endings, which lead to the final novella with a happily-ever-after.

I come from a family which adores Italy. My parents strive to go every year, and I've been several times there myself. I took this very cruise through the Mediterranean Sea and wrote my notes while I traveled. The sights, sounds, aromas, and atmosphere of this exotic region are just as I personally experienced them.

If you haven't been to Italy, Monaco, Spain, or France, I highly recommend it. Even if you have to save a little each year to make it a trip of a lifetime, it is well worth it. These locations are the cradle of civilization. The art, food, and culture created here resonate throughout time.
