Wren Prescott's dancing dreams shattered on an Italian mountainside years ago. A reckless dare cost her everything: her ballet career and Luca Botticelli, the man she loved. The pain cut so deep she never told anyone about him, not even her closest friend Mia. Now Luca has moved to America to launch his fashion line. He's achieved success in business but failed at love. His latest collection serves as his final tribute to the ballerina who vanished from his life without explanation. He turns to matchmaker Tenor Butler for help with romance, though he expects little. When Wren and Luca meet again unexpectedly, old feelings surge back with startling force. Both seek closure from their shared past, but first they must confront what really happened on those Italian slopes. They'll need to decide whether their connection was real love or merely an illusion. The second installment in the Bachelor International series explores whether some bonds can survive years of separation and regret.
