The Two Antonias is a book of two deliciously sexy, sassy short stories. The two main characters, both named Antonia, are similar yet different. In the first story, Antonia “Stix” Grimaldi is a biracial black woman who was born into a very rich family. Stix, as she is called, is truly a modern, independent woman who has everything that money can buy. She has a very active social life but has no desire to marry. Stix doesn’t want to share her wealth with a husband. She keeps her wealth a secret from her lovers. The one thing that Stix does desire is to have a child, and she is making a list of potential baby daddies. Stix soon has an encounter with a Marine named Jamie. Jamie is a tall, handsome, and extremely well-endowed Cuban-American. Initially, Stix feels that Jamie would not only be satisfying in bed but also would be a perfect father for her future child. Stix finds out that she is completely wrong about Jamie being a good father. Jamie is only interested in finding a rich white woman to take care of him for the rest of his life. He’s not interested in the petite but beautiful black woman. Jamie sleeps with Stix anyway and is pleasantly surprised at how sexually compatible they are. Jamie begins to care for Stix, but he thinks she does not have the finances that he craves. Stix keeps her finances a secret and enjoys Jamie sexually until she meets his twin brother, Johnny. Johnny is a motorcycle-riding bad boy with a murder in his past. Stix falls hard for Johnny. See what happens when the two brothers collide. See what happens when Jamie finds out Stix is a multibillionaire and has more money than we ever dreamed of. The situation gets hot! Which twin will win? The second story is about Antonia “Tee” Charles, a black woman of extraordinary beauty. Tee’s grandfather is a white man who takes advantage of her grandmother who works for him. That union produces the beautiful Anna, Tee’s mother. Anna is forbidden to socialize with any of the boys from town, but Anna is enticed by one of the boys and gets pregnant. The extraordinarily beautiful Antonia is born. Tee was not born with money but uses her beauty and brains to capture the heart of a rich doctor who takes her to another country. Tee feels that she has finally found happiness and that she has the perfect marriage. Tee finds out that her husband is keeping a big secret from her. Tee loves him and accepts the truth but is soon devastated by his death. She returns to the United States, where she encounters Jason Canova. Jason is a prominent Italian attorney who is married but has never been in love. He married his much-older wife because she was rich. Jason doesn’t have a lot of experience with women. Before his wife, he was a virgin. His only experience beforehand was in his bathroom, looking at girly magazines and pleasuring himself. Jason is attracted to Tee and becomes obsessed with her. He desires her badly. Tee likes Jason but doesn’t want to get involved with a married man. Jason pursues her relentlessly. Tee has always had an insatiable sexual appetite, but she has been celibate since the death of her husband. Tee is intrigued by Jason’s total mastery in the courtroom and his complete naivety about women. What will happen? Will Jason wear Tee down? Will he have her? Will he leave his wife? Come along to witness the intrigue and adventure of the two Antonias. Be you male or female, these stories are to be enjoyed by the wonderfully wicked!

The next volume of memoir from the author of the international bestseller A Thousand Days in Venice introduces the extraordinary Antonia, imperious matriach of four generations of strong-willed Tuscan women The renovations to 34 via del Duomo now complete, Marlena de Blasi, the bestselling international author and "the woman with the fairy-tale life" needs to find time and space to finish a book. Lured by the offer of a simple stone cottage in the remote, mountainous region of western Tuscany, distant from the distractions of her everyday life with Fernando in Orvieto, she sets off for some much-needed solitude. But her plans to live simply, in peace and quiet, are overturned when she meets the imperious, tempestuous Antonia, the still-stunning, elderly matriarch of a large, complicated family of four generations of beautiful blue-eyed Italian women, all with stories and ideas of their own. Antonia dislikes tourists and outsiders, and so Marlena at first spars and clashes with her before they reach an understanding. Over feasts and family dinners, walking in the dark before sunrise to harvest wild lettuces, preparing meals and exchanging recipes, the two women joust, joke, exchange confidences, and grow closer and closer until finally Antonia reveals the terrible secrets behind the vivid beauty of Il Castelleto. Evocative, powerful, and haunting, this is a compelling insight into Italy's recent past and a revealing glimpse into one extraordinary woman's story and her kitchen.
