This is the second book in the Orsini Brother's new series by Sandra Marton. The Orsini brothers grew up in New York hating and loathing their old man (father), who is a mafia don and vowed not to have anything to do with him. Through hard work and pulling together all their talents and resources, the four brothers established a reputable bank in New York and are now billionaires in their own rights. Life is good until their old man summoned the first two Rafael and Dante to see him. They thought it was his usual summons to talk about dying etc, but this time he wanted to see each separately. When Dante met with his father, his father requested of him to help him purchase a ranch in Brazil that belonged to his good friend to save it from ruin as his old friend was ill and dying and his friend's son could not be trusted to look after the ranch.
On getting to Brazil Dante was confronted with his past in the person of Gabriella Ramos an ex -girlfriend and the mother of a sweet baby boy who looked like Dante, her father and brother were dead and the Ranch belonged to her, but was heavily mortgaged and she will need more than a miracle to keep it from the scheming and thieving bankers and lawyers. Will Dante buy the ranch, give it to her and walk away or will he say to hell with the ranch and claim his child and the woman he loves?
A very fascinating and intriguing story with high drama; that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I could not wait to get to the end and had to read it in one sitting. A great read from Sandra, a master story teller and one of the best writers of the M&B miniseries. If you loved the Landon legacy, the Barons, the O'Connell's, the Knight Brothers, you will love this one as it is shaping up to be another great mini-series. Enjoy.
