#1 Bestseller at Whiskey Creek Press!



A middle-aged woman recently stung by
betrayal and divorce meets a dashing younger man
still grieving from his wife's death. Their
unlikely romance ignites in the heat of One Italian
Summer. When American Natalie Compton travels to
Italy and encounters Giovanni Ragazzo in a
centuries-old monastery in Florence, she never
expects the handsome Italian to be interested in
someone like her. She considers herself too old,
too chubby, and too jaded from her failed
marriage. Gio loves Natalie's vitality, her spunk,
her wit...everything about her that stands in
contrast to his late wife, whose death from a long
illness devastated him. Both Natalie and Giovanni are harboring
secrets that would ruin most romantic
relationships. But does the truth really matter
when they have only ten days to be
together?
