Secret Desire by Jill Sanders

Claire’s once-in-a-lifetime dream vacation to Italy turns into a hellish nightmare when she’s mistakenly caught up in a dangerous smuggling situation. Thankfully, her reliable lifelong best friend is there to help her out of the mess she’s fallen into.

Justin has had a crush on his best friend since grade school. The only problem is that it is obvious to everyone but her. But now that they’re halfway around the world, dealing with some very dangerous men, he figures it is past time he showed Claire just how he feels. Before it is too late.
