Jack and Jamie have been in a relationship ever since they met when their companies were in the midst of a merger. Now Jack's visas have run out so they get marred while Jack is trying to decide what to do - get a new job in the US or return to Italy and take up the family business - winemaking.
I had a really hard time with this book - the characters kept going back and forth between US and Italy, there was dialogue in Italian that wasn't translated and I kept asking myself throughout - where is this story going.
