BLURB:

Diana Russo has spent years convincing herself she’s over Levi Jasinski.

Her brother’s best friend was her first crush — a golden-haired aviator with a brilliant mind, a killer smile, and a talent for breaking her heart. When Levi disappeared after her brother’s tragic accident, Diana thought she’d lost him forever.

Now, nearly a decade later, Diana is working on an archaeological dig in Italy when Levi unexpectedly walks back into her life and she realizes she’s definitely not over him.

Even worse: she’s invented a fiancé to get into an exclusive weekend party at an Italian villa, and the imaginary man she created just happens to resemble the fighter pilot standing right in front of her.

Levi agrees to play along because he’d sacrifice anything for Diana, even his own resolve to keep her safe from the one person who could hurt her the most: himself. 

But as old memories resurface and secrets finally come to light, the lines between pretending and reality blur. And from the ruins of the past, Diana and Levi may finally discover that the love they lost was the one thing worth finding again.
