"I want only what's best for you, Dina."
Bella, Dina's godmother, sensed from their first meeting that Raf Ventura was a disruptive force. He wanted to save Dina from the perfect marriage Bella had arranged for her to one of California's most eligible bachelors.

No, Dina knew, she couldn't risk seeing him again!
