Romance and family drama set in Italy, against the magical backdrop of Bellagio, Verona and Rome. Books 1-4 of the Italian Summer Series are now in one boxed set: It Takes Two All That Glitters Fool's Gold Roman Encounter It Takes Two Rona Fernández's visits to the charming Gioberti's restaurant had raised some eyebrows but nobody was overly suspicious of why she would go alone each evening. Not even her husband. Besides, a harmless flirtation every now and then isn't such a bad thing. As long it stays that way. All That Glitters A chance encounter at a luxury hotel leads to a sizzling romance between unlucky-in-love Andrea Brunelli and the gorgeous Riley James. But her nights of passion lead to more than she had bargained for and Andrea soon discovers that there is a price to pay. Is her passionate new romance all that it is set up to be or is there more to it than meets the eye? Fool's Gold Leo Carrera takes a chance when he invests in Andrea Brunelli's business. It seems to be a wise decision but falling for her isn't, especially when the feelings aren't mutual and she seems to attract every loser in sight. But he's a patient man and he's willing to wait. Andrea knows that having Leo by her side has been the biggest help, especially during the last few rocky months. He's been a tower of strength, her steady rock, her go-to guy. The only problem is that sometimes, the way he looks at her makes her skin tingle, sets her heartrate rocketing and her pulse racing. But he's so calm and laid back, he barely realizes the effect he's having on her. So when another business associate takes an interest in her, what's a girl to do? Roman Encounter Gina Morosini has spent her life pleasing others and putting her own dreams and wishes on hold. People gravitate towards her with their own problems, never stopping to wonder what might be going on in her life. When the pressure intensifies and her personal life falls apart, a week in Rome provides the escape she desperately needs. Christian Russo is a stud. Over-confident and self-serving, he's only interested in doing what's best for him. And right now, working for a training company in Rome isn't it. He can do better, and he knows it. But even a player like Russo needs help sometimes, especially when his résumé needs to sparkle. Asking the quiet mouse of a woman for help works out well for him and leads Gina and Christian on a journey that neither of them expected. womens fiction romance,family sagas series,inspirational romance series,fiction books for women,womens fiction beach reads, romance books set in italy,genre fiction family sagas and romance

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In this “magical trip worth taking” (Associated Press), the New York Times bestselling author of In Five Years returns with a powerful novel about the transformational love between mothers and daughters set on the breathtaking Amalfi Coast. When Katy’s mother dies, she is left reeling. Carol wasn’t just Katy’s mom, but her best friend and first phone call. She had all the answers and now, when Katy needs her the most, she is gone. To make matters worse, their planned mother-daughter trip of a lifetime looms: to Positano, the magical town where Carol spent the summer right before she met Katy’s father. Katy has been waiting years for Carol to take her, and now she is faced with embarking on the adventure alone. But as soon as she steps foot on the Amalfi Coast, Katy begins to feel her mother’s spirit. Buoyed by the stunning waters, beautiful cliffsides, delightful residents, and, of course, delectable food, Katy feels herself coming back to life. And then Carol appears—in the flesh, healthy, sun-tanned, and thirty years old. Katy doesn’t understand what is happening, or how—all she can focus on is that she has somehow, impossibly, gotten her mother back. Over the course of one Italian summer, Katy gets to know Carol, not as her mother, but as the young woman before her. She is not exactly who Katy imagined she might be, however, and soon Katy must reconcile the mother who knew everything with the young woman who does not yet have a clue. “Rebecca Serle is known for her powerful stories that tug at the heartstrings—and her latest is just as unforgettable” (Woman’s World) as it effortlessly shows us how to move on after loss, and how the people we love never truly leave us.

Sunshine, warmth, lemon blossom . . . Springtime in glorious Southern Italy can go to your head. Especially if you are escaping an overbearing husband, the embarrassingly public loss of your company, an interfering mother who still tries to run your life or the pain of a husband's affair with a girl young enough to be his daughter. As the Italian sun ripens the lemons in the groves that tumble down the hillsides and the Mediterranean dazzles beneath them, assertive Angela, extrovert Sylvie, unconfident Claire and mousy Monica find burgeoning friendship and begin to blossom in quite unexpected ways. Packed with memorable characters – from the acid-tongued Grand Old Man of Modern Art who lives next door – to the aspiring gigolo who thinks nothing of a forty year age gap, Maeve Haran's An Italian Holiday is a witty and entertaining reminder of why going a little mad in the sun can sometimes be exactly what you need.

While Carter sees Italy as a land of romance, Giancarlo knows what disappointments live under the Abruzzo sky. But soon the mentor and student develop a friendship that brings them to the old country together. In the land of sun, wine, new romance, and old wounds, each man embarks on his own journey of the heart…

The last two years have been monstrously unpleasant for high-society journalist Gus Bailey. When he falls for a fake story and implicates a powerful congressman in some rather nasty business on a radio program, Gus becomes embroiled in a slander suit. The stress makes it difficult for him to focus on his next novel, which is based on the suspicious death of billionaire Konstantin Zacharias. The convicted murderer is behind bars, but Gus is not convinced that justice was served. There are too many unanswered questions, and Konstantin’s hot-tempered widow will do anything to conceal the truth. Featuring favorite characters and the affluent world Dunne first introduced in People Like Us, Too Much Money is a mischievous, compulsively readable tale by the most brilliant society chronicler of our time—the man who knew all the secrets and wasn’t afraid to share them.
