When her former roommate and oldest friend had called her up about house swapping for her to take a job for a couple of months in Italy and depositing Natalia in the Southern US. She had glossed over the fact that her brother lived with her. A recovering soldier with soulful eyes tats and the most beautiful voice she had ever heard. His recovery was getting used to civilian life again having been a special ops soldier since he graduated from college. Her name she hoped would not carry the same baggage here in the states that it did in Italy. Between his past and hers could love really save them.

Arabella Morrozzo... Niece/adopted daughter to one of the more infamous families in Europe. Her uncle now adoptive father, since the death of her parents when she was young, Berto Morrozzo. He had tried to honor his late brothers wishes but the family name nor its history could be wiped away so easily. So she was protected but allowed to live her own life and world. Her best friend in the world was a "sister" she made at university... Rose Sawyer. Rose had contacted her recently about house swapping for a couple of months since she had to travel to Italy for a couple of months for work and she really needed someone at her house to keep an eye on things and maybe help her brother. Arabella agreed and her uncle shipped her things over to save her the airplane hassle and had her a re ntal car. It had taken a little negotiating to not end up with a bodyguard and driver but as always his "little Bella" got her way agreeing to call an associate of his in NYC if she required help. Later that week they met up at Rose's house in Georgia and traded keys and Rose was off to Italy and Arabella was living in America. She was glad it was a smaller town but that there was an international market there. She went shopping for a few things and was home before Rose's brother returned from therapy.
 
James Sawyer was still only 3 months out of the service. He went to see a "Head Doctor" as he called it due to the night terror he still had. When his sister told him of her plans, so he was very upset but tried to hide it from her as she seemed so happy.

You need this sis. Go. I will be fine and expect to hear from you daily.

He did not anticipate to stunning beauty of "little Bella" and while he did not believe in love at first sight, he was close.
 
She smiled when he arrived and introduced herself to him. A little hesitant to offer her last name.

Hello James. Rose told me we would be roomates for a couple of months. I am Arabella but most just call me Bella. Hope you don't mind my being here. Rose just sort of brushed over our being roommates with her usual "don't worry about it. He'll love it"
 
Enthralled James simply replies. "Not at all, Ma'am. Just let me know if you need anything."

James, not for the first time wished he had all the clever lines his buddies all seemed to pull out at times like this. He sensed a mystery with her, like there was more to her than even his sister must know. He tells himself, "In have time, no rush."
 
She smiled.

Just call me Belle or Bella none of this Ma'am stuff. And I guess I should get this out of the way. My last name is Morrozzo.
