Summary

A widowed Brooklyn bookkeeper reluctantly agrees to marry a mild-mannered man she doesn't love, only to fall hard for his estranged, hot-tempered younger brother while her fiance is away in Sicily. As the full moon stirs up passions across her big Italian-American family, she must decide between safe practicality and uncontrollable love.
