Respectful to her old-fashioned, but loving parents, Angela faithfully assists with the family business, the Varelli Café. Her Italian immigrant parents, Dominic and Lucille, gave birth to their only child in their later years of marriage.

     Angela’s sheltered past brings an unceasing shyness preventing her from blooming outside a protected world until Vince, a regular café customer whom she incessantly avoids, comes into her life, and her heart. After a lengthy endeavor, Vince finally exposes a concealed side of Angela, a woman filled with ultimate passion and desire.

     The relationship barely begins before tragedy hinders the culmination of their affections. As devastation eventually brings her strength and self-independence, Angela’s virtuous nature becomes compromised. The heated attraction between she and Vince intensifies as passion fills the unpretentious young woman---the woman who, before a man like Vince walks into her life, is secluded in a lonely and private world of her own.
