Love of a Lifetime

Rita Sterling, at the age of twenty-seven, was about to make the biggest mistake of her life, hoping to find the kind of love her parents shared until her mother was tragically taken away from them. She was about to settle for a man she thought she loved, searching for that special love. Rita was pure and innocent in every sense of the word, but that was about to change! The night of her engagement party as she started descending the stairs, her eyes locked on a handsome stranger. He was staring at her, but she was magnetically staring right back! Those blue eyes of his were electrifying! He advanced closer to the stairs, drawn to the vision of perfection that had almost reached the last step. He extended his hand, reaching for hers. "Forgive me for staring. I have never seen such a beauty before me!" His voice came out coarse and dry. "I am Vittorio delle Rose."
