In Peterson's 'Land of Shining Water' novels, you can't help but draw comparisons to Romeo and Juliet. However, with not only one, but two pairs of star-crossed lovers, the level of intrigue is definitely heightened. There is plenty of drama and excitement to keep fans engaged and flipping to the next page.

When Chantel Panetta's younger sister claims to be in love with Orlando Calarco, Chantel knows there is no hope. The Panettas and Calarcos have been sworn enemies for decades, and young love cannot heal the deep wounds between the two iron-mining families. Yet, unable to resist Isabella's pleas, Chantel agrees to help her sister spend time with Orlando...only to have a run-in with Dante, Orlando's brother.

Chantel can't deny the attraction that flares when she's with Dante. But when a tragedy occurs at the mine, is there any hope that the hatred that has simmered between these two families might be resolved? Or will Chantel and Isabella's hope for love be buried amidst decades of misunderstanding?
