Sonia Vitale grew up Italian-American in Cincinnati--strong family, great food, Catholic schools, a degree in computers, and a wonderful fiancé. But sometimes things just don't work out.

Then came a new job in the beautiful horse country of Lexington, Kentucky--a fresh start, working to help children rather than the bottom line. But sometimes things just don't work out.
Enter Jet, a new friend and an offer to join Bluegrass Confidential Investigations--a new career as a private investigator. But sometimes you get more than you bargained for.

And across the street lies the competition--bright blue eyes, rugged face, buff body, the proprietor of Semper Fi Investigations.

What Sonia uncovers as she surveils a small Kentucky horse farm sends her on a journey she could never have imagined. Speeding cars, bullets, secret codes and mysterious voices burst into her life. And the most challenging conundrum of all--two very different men, each of whom enflames her Italian passions. She needs to know: can the good little Italian-American girl grow into the woman she needs to be?
