About
When Chantel Panetta's younger sister claims to be in love with Orlando Calarco, Chantel knows there is no hope. The Panettas and Calarcos have been sworn enemies for decades, and young love cannot heal the deep wounds between the two iron-mining families. Yet, unable to resist Isabella's pleas, Chantel agrees to help her sister spend time with Orlando...only to have a run-in with Dante, Orlando's brother.
Chantel can't deny the attraction that flares when she's with Dante. But when a tragedy occurs at the mine, is there any hope that the hatred that has simmered between these two families might be resolved? Or will Chantel and Isabella's hope for love be buried amidst decades of misunderstanding?

The Panettas and Calarcos have carried on a vendetta in their homeland for several generations. Now it is still carried on between the two families even in America. This makes it difficult for Chantel Panetta's young sister who has given her heart to Orlando Calarcos. If their families find out they will never be allowed to marry. No matter what Chantel says to her sister it seems to be ignored. Now she has to deal with the rantings of Orlando's older brother Dante. She finds herself attracted to Dante which is very odd to her.
Dante and Orlando work in the same mine as Chantel's father and this does not set well with Dante's father. Their is so much hatred for the Panettas in Dante's father. What will the young couple do to convince their father's to let them marry or will they run away to marry?
I am sure that there are many families to this day that have vendettas. I remember hearing about the historical fued of the Hadfield and McCoys which was worse than that of the Panettas and Calarcos. So much pain over something that generations later has no validity yet still creates hatred and havoc for all involved.
The author wrote a love story of a young Romeo and Juliet that were willing to sacrifice love and comfort of their families in order to build a life together. With faith and trust in God will they be together without causing heartache and bloodshed between their families? Trust the author to give you an experience in reading that will keep you guessing.
I highly recommend this book.
I rated this book a 5 our of 5.
