Finding Edward (Save Me Series, Book 3)

Eddie lives an uncomplicated life working on a construction crew. Uncomplicated, that is, until his grandmother leaves him an inheritance he cannot receive until after he talks to his mother and takes a trip to Positano, Italy. Eddie’s mother informs him that the mean deadbeat he has known his whole life is not really his father. She had a brief affair with an Italian man who returned to Italy before learning of his existence. In a series of firsts, Eddie takes a journey to a foreign country, meets a beautiful Italian doctor, saves a life using CPR, and searches for his real father. His Italian adventure becomes an exploration of desire and destiny that leads him to love, family, and a better version of himself.
