Publisher's Synopsis
Some blazes, once ignited, can't be extinguished.
Just one burning touch connects a Dante with his soul mate.
The Inferno ... curse or blessing?
There's dark secret about The Inferno ... and Gianna knows it.
Gianna Dante wasn't sure she could actually feel The Inferno. But the instant she touches her true love she discovers that not only can she ... she does!
Constantine Romano has a will unlike any other and refuses to take Gianna as his until he rebuilds his decimated finances. After all, he might have no choice but to submit to The Inferno's passion, but he still has his honor. Now, nineteen months, five days, eight hours and a handful of minutes later, he has returned to claim his mate, only to discover she's moved on. While The Inferno overwhelms him with flames of desire, Gianna has apparently found a cure for its burn.
And she has. It's a secret she learned as a child and even though it threatens to break her heart, she can't force Constantine to love her against his will. While family pressure forces them to the altar, Gianna has an heartbreaking decision to make. Tell her family the truth-that The Inferno isn't real, just a sweet family fairy tale that can easily be broken. Or keep her silence and marry the only man she'll ever love, even if he doesn't want to marry her.
Has The Inferno finally burned out? Or will its flame catch fire for Gianna and her honor-bound husband before its too late?

Q & A with Day Leclaire:
So explain this Inferno business?
Right?!? Wouldn't it make life so much simpler-and so much more complicated-if we could identify our soul mates with a single touch? I loved the concept and it was the springboard for the entire series. I always try to incorporate just a touch of fantasy in all my books. To my delight, readers seem to identify with the idea, so thanks to all of you who fell in love with both the Dantes and The Inferno!
Can you tell us one interesting detail about this particular book?
When I was a child I believed everything I was told. We don't learn to question that until we're older and a bit more jaded. So I absolutely believed that babies grew in cabbage patches under the full moon, you had to be nice to a car or it wouldn't start, white skin tasted like vanilla and black tasted like chocolate (I was sadly disabused of this the first time I kissed a boy). And dragonflies grew up to be dragons. Okay, that last one is true. But you know what I mean, right?!? Those memories inspired a big part of this story.
