With her plans gone awry, can Valentine find a new way to make her dreams come true?
Snow falls over Tuscany at the beautiful wedding of Valentineās grandmother to her longtime love. But despite Valentine and Gianlucaās passion for one another, their own long-distance relationship seems impossible. And Valentineās dreams are dashed as Gram announces Valentineās brother, Alfred, as her partner at Angelini Shoes.
As Valentine turns away from romance and devotes herself to her work, a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity takes her to Buenos Aires. Unearthing a long-buried secret hidden deep within a family scandal, Valentine is determined to hold her family together. Longing to create a family of her own, Valentine is torn between two loves: one that has nurtured her and a new one that promises to sustain her.
