Literary Titan Silver Award Winner.
Ramone Sanchez, rising star in the age-old Spanish tradition of bullfighting passed down for generations, has found his life once filled with glamour and fame thrust into the crossroads of despair.
Recently engaged to Annie Harrison, the Western beauty from Beyond the Sea: Annie's Journey into the Extraordinary, Ramone has become an unwilling victim in a politically-fraught drama, witnessing the unthinkable and reluctantly realizing his lack of power outside the ring. His brother, Antonio, once the carefree, dimpled Casanova with women at his feet, is now wheel-chair bound from an injury in the bullring and pitifully doubts both his manhood and his path forward.
In this sequel, it is Annie's family who takes Ramone and Antonio under their wing, along with their mother, Marguerite, to set sail on the Porto Banus and take refuge on the idyllic island of Mallorca off the coast of Spain. A spiritual wedding is planned, bringing friends and family together as the island works its magical healing to create a bond between them that reshapes each of their own destinies.
Will Ramone and Antonio find the comfort they so desperately need to answer the questions simmering beneath the surface, or will they find even more than they hoped for?
