A Soulmate For Tali

Though born into a wealthy Italian family, Leonardo Guerranti has not had an easy life. Sold out by the woman who bore him, rejected by his stepmother, he's learned to be tough and strong. Love? Not in the cards for him. His younger brother Mariano runs the family's banking business, but a sudden setback means Leo must sacrifice himself for the good of the family by marrying the daughter of a business rival.
However, an unforeseen complication arises that threatens the alliance between the two families, and Leo can't allow that. Talisman Broussard has grown strong through necessity when both parents died in a car accident. With no one to rely on but herself, she's risen to every challenge. Friends become her new family, and when one of them wishes to speak with the son she hasn't seen in thirty-five years and explain why she left him, Tali vows to help her.  When the irresistible force that is Tali meets the immovable object that is Leo, something's gotta give.
He's got the money and the determination to get his own way in whatever he chooses. But he's never met a woman with the Southern brass that Tali possesses when she sets her mind to something. One way or another, sparks will fly. Will the conflagration consume them in the process?
