Betrayal. Intrigue. A desperate mission and a love neither of them sees coming.
She's the woman he needs most.
Gianna Zichella has always had a bright and secure future, next in line to lead her family's business. A little flirting with her newest, ruggedly handsome client seems harmless enough-until a stranger contacts her and her life begins to unravel. Gia will stop at nothing to protect her family and the legacy they've built.
He's the man she can trust with every fiber of her being.
Former SEAL Booth Merrick prides himself on being the consummate security professional. Sent to Italy on assignment, he never intended to get personally involved. He does women, not relationships. That is, until he meets the beautiful and captivating Gia-and protecting her becomes far more personal than he ever planned.
Where danger and desire collide, love becomes the most dangerous risk of all.

Review :
"Bishop burns up the pages in Afraid to Love, the third installment of her Ancient Passages series."
"Bishop has Booth and Gianna set the plot on fire with their passionate flirting and sensual bed sport. If you love Rebecca Zanetti Deep Ops books, then I highly recommend Bishop's Ancient Passages."
"Gia and Booth heat up the Tuscan starry nights. You might need a gelato or spumoni afterwards to cool off."
"I really enjoy the mix of history (real and mythic or fictional) and a modern game of love and mystery. Sutton Bishop blends them all with pizzazz and panache."
"O Mio Dio! It's getting hot in Italy! Sutton Bishop turns up the heat in the third installment of her Ancient Passages series, Afraid to Love. She launches you into the world of archaeological looting, Italian culture, and searing sex. This expertly woven story will keep you guessing and there's plenty of passion to ignite a fire in your belly."
"For new readers to the series, the story is sexy, a great complicated plot with twists like a bowl of pasta. We want to unravel that complex dish to find the prized meatball at its heart.
