Baseball player Damien Storm has never acted on his secret attraction for Shannon. Between the closeness of their families, Shannon being the cousin to his best friend, Dominic, and warnings from his father, she was a dream he could never hope for.

A death bed promise exposes Damien’s secret and forces him to accept the fact that a relationship with Shannon might be inevitable. Breaking down her icy walls and proving to her that he is serious will be a task like nothing he’s ever had to face before.

Public Relations Manager Shannon Blake Walden still grieves the loss of her parents and grandparents. Thriving in her career but stagnant in her relationships, she fears loving people and losing them.

Shannon has never looked at Damien as anything other than her cousin's best friend. However, not wanting to be the proverbial third wheel over the holidays with her cousin and his wife, Shannon accepts an invitation to a much needed vacation with Damien to Italy, ultimately changing the dynamic of their relationship.

Can Damien keep his promise and win the heart of the woman he truly wants? Will Shannon discover if the fear of loss outweighs the risk of love?

This is book Five in the Seven Giants Series. It can be read as a standalone but it is strongly recommended that Dominic's Mysterious Bridesmaid and Donnell's Sultry Treat are read before.
