The Shooting Star: Hidden treasures . broken spirits . tangled love. A second chance contemporary romance (Sway of the Stars)

Hidden treasures ... broken spirits ... tangled love.

Sassy and stubborn, Liz Emerson has always done it tough. When a bundle of cash comes her way, she's already allocated it to sensible and practical costs - not for what it's intended.

Fiercely proud and loyal, billionaire Connor Levorico has always followed the principals of his hardworking grandfather. On the night of his death, his grandfather reveals one final secret and Connor makes a promise.

Connor and Liz find themselves on the same reckless path, looking for buried heirloom jewels, in a tiny out-of-the-way village in southern Italy. Unexpected heat flares quickly between them, until this modern-day treasure hunt turns dangerous, forcing Liz and Connor apart.

But not even Connor's wealth can prepare him for the sudden change that will impact his life forever. As he claws his way out of the darkness, the lure of the jewels won't go away.

Can Connor convince Liz to return for one more shot at finding the jewels? He's prepared to risk everything, even his heart, to ensure she agrees.

Liz fights back, not sure who to trust. Her heart was left in tatters last time. Why would she risk it again?
