She stared at him hovering over her. His hair was messy. She could see the green of the trees behind him and the yellow and pink hues of the late afternoon sun making a halo around his head. It wasn't hard to visualize orange light beaming through his body, down his arms to his hands, which cupped her small stomach in a loving embrace. Luna Lamonte is starting to give up on life in San Diego. Her messy divorce and her unfulfilling career have pushed her to her limits. Luna's long time college friend Bree Hollister swoops in with a rescue plan - a little getaway to clear Luna's head. They set out on a road trip to Colorado, but through a series of coincidences they are put on a path that forces a realignment of destiny. The two friends wind up in Terra, New Mexico, where the energy of the land, and two gorgeous Italian men, guide Luna towards an esoteric and erotic rebirth. Chef Sebastiano Marotta and his boss Daniele Arcuri (whose family owns one of the biggest chains of luxury hotels), take Luna and Bree on a wild escapade of emotions that pair ancestral healing and spirituality, with sensual mysticism.Daniele is rich, stable and gorgeous; Luna's usual cookie cutter type. So why does she find herself inexplicably drawn to Sebastiano who turns a mirror onto her shadow self. Will Luna follow a path of empowerment and sexual rebirth or will she abandon her new found freedom?
