Klappentext

Italy, 1957Rafaella Parisi is on the cusp of womanhood, tucked away in her father's Puglian olive groves, impatiently waiting for the flood of summer visitors that breathe life into her small fishing town. Waiting for one boy in particular: Cosimo. The son of the wealthy Franchetti family, Cosimo's life is glamorous, exciting and refined - a world away from Rafaella's. Yet love and desire are stronger than wealth or power; Rafaella and Cosimo are bound by destiny itself. But when a devastating accident tears their families apart, their innocence is ripped from them. And a vow is made that changes both of their lives. Three years later, Cosimo sees Raffaella for the first time since that summer. Now married to a man who is intent on building an empire, Raffaella is in danger and Cosimo knows it. And though he longs to save her, he cannot undo the promise he made all those years ago. To help her would be to lose himself. An impossible wish. Unless love is worth going against everything he stands for...
