One Summer in Sicily: An absolutely perfect romantic read from Nancy Barone to escape with in 2024

by Nancy Barone

Overview

When life gives you lemons... make Limoncello!
Gillian Dobson hates to fly. But when her husband of 20 years goes on a business trip to Sicily, she is determined to rekindle their romance with a surprise trip to the idyllic island of Lipari… big mistake as it turns out he has A.F.C. - Alternative Female Company.

Devastated, she narrowly escapes a car accident, only to meet handsome local Mattia Spadaro. A mix between an Adonis and an Italian George Clooney.

If simply looking at him gives her an electric shock, surely anything more would 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!

Does this summer in Sicily spell the end of her marriage or the beginning of a new dolce vita?

Perfect for fans of Jennifer Weiner, Kristen Bailey and Jo Thomas!
