[The Dante Inferno: The Dante Dynasty Series 11] • Lucia

***Some blazes, once ignited, can’t be extinguished.*

Just one burning touch connects a Dante with his soul mate.

The Inferno … curse or blessing?**

*Her one dream... To be a Dante!*

All love child Lucia Moretti has ever wanted is to share her father’s name. To be a Dante, like her dad. To belong. To feel the burn of The Inferno when she first joins hands with her soul mate. Unfortunately, she no longer believes in fairy tales. Or so she thinks until a protective stranger touches her and The Inferno strikes. Too bad he doesn’t feel it, too.

Ty Masterson is hired to guard the millions of dollars’ worth of Dante gems Lucia is modeling at a premier celebration to debut the New Beginnings jewelry line. But he finds himself more interested in guarding her body. After a night of passion, it’s discovered the jewelry is fake—switched at some point under his watch—and Ty is torn between duty and his growing attraction for Lucia.

Then matters take a more serious turn when Lucia suspects she’s pregnant...with Ty’s baby. Will history repeat itself, or will her own lovechild escape the stigma of illegitimacy that Lucia spent a lifetime living?

**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?** I'm sorry to say this detail is a sad one. When I was in the middle of this book, my mom died. She was always a huge supporter of my writing and read each and every book before publication to check it for errors. Even when her eyesight made it difficult, she insisted on reading the books and I'd print them out in the largest font possible. So, it took me years to return to this story and for that I truly apologize to all the many fans of the Dante series. But at long last, the book is completed and I am delighted to share it with you!
