ONE SUMMER IN SICILY Contemporary romance standalone

Rights: World English: Aria/Head of Zeus 8 June 2023

When dumped while on your summer hols in Sicily, you can either eat your heart out- or eat all sorts of desserts with the sexy local playboy...

In an attempt to resuscitate her twenty-year-old marriage, Gillian Dobson knocks down a few tranquilizers and takes the dreaded flight to the Sicilian island of Lipari to surprise her husband, away on a business trip. Big mistake- he has younger and prettier company.

To preserve what’s left of her dignity, Gillian has no choice but to dash out into the street in her bathrobe, her life practically over. In her drugged, confused state, she is (almost) hit by a car. The driver turns out to be the younger, sex-on-a-stick local playboy, Mattia Spadaro, a cross between Adonis and Rudolph Valentino. And a flirt extraordinaire. If simply looking at him gives her electric shock, anything more would surely give her a heart attack? What's worse, they share a wild passion for Sicilian desserts. Just what she needs- another man who's bad for her. But between the cannoli and the Sicilian ice cream, when Gillian must make a few life-changing decisions, will Mattia really be there for her, or is all just for One Summer In Sicily?

Nancy Barone has a degree in English and French Literature from the University of Pisa, Tuscany. A former Torontonian, Nancy has also lived in Tuscany and England. She now lives in the Sicilian countryside near the sea with her husband and their two dogs.

Emmie Weaver has it all – a handsome fiancé and students who love her. So why does she feel so lost?

When Emmie's estranged grandfather dies, leaving her a barge in Starry Cove, it's a welcome chance to hit pause. But as soon as she arrives in the Cornish village, it's clear this won't be the relaxing break she was expecting. Her grandmother wants nothing to do with her and Jago Moon, a handsome yet hostile town bad boy, is inexplicably determined to not let her boat touch water.
