So, after 10 years, when light is seen illuminating the grand villa, a quiet histeria overtakes the village. Things only worsen when word gets out that a new Don is now inhabiting the place....and he is seeking a bride.

Lauressa is beautiful, smart, modest, and totally unprepared for what the future has in store for her. Life, which had once been peaceful and simple, is now complicated and full of uncertainty. She definitely didn't get what she had been expecting. He was like a stone, unyielding and strong - does he need her as badly as she hopes he does? For the woman who was accustomed to being on her own, would a man whose very nature demanded compliance be the one person that refused to let go? Would she ever really want to be free of him?

Don Kevinus is handsome, intelligent, fiercely confident, and totally unprepared for what love has in store for him. He had merely wanted a wife, but what he got was a match...in every way. She was like the water - free and natural - how could he not need the fluidity and joy she brings to his life? For the man who was accustomed to everything going his way, would a woman whose every fiber inspired, enticed, and excited him be the one person that refused to curve to his whims? Would he ever really want her to change?

Something has to give - maybe they'll both just have to give in to each other.
