Stories of Love, Life, Passion, Resilience, Resistance & Recovery in Northern Italy.
Despite the trauma and drama in her life, Angelina has persevered, relying on the support of her multi-talented and over-protective godmother, Valentina—best friend of her late mother. After the murder of her abusive husband, Angelina has resigned herself to spending her life alone in her hometown of Rimini, on the Adriatic coast of Italy, just like her godmother.
But then, Angelina meets Benjamin, a divorced American man relocating to Rimini. Through a series of coincidences, Angelina begins to believe she might experience love and happiness with Benjamin. Her godmother is not so sure. Benjamin finds himself navigating the strong personalities of the two women as he struggles to put down roots in his new hometown.
But did Valentina really mean it when she said she would kill him?
I found Mark and Lorna’s AuthorPackages.com through a recommendation, and I am so appreciative that I did. I came to them with naïve ideas of the cover and how my novel should be formatted. Mark and Lorna quickly steered me towards a very professional design.
While the quality of the artwork and formatting was impeccable, what distinguished AuthorPackages for me was the concierge service and handholding that Mark and Lorna provided to me, a novice. They went above and beyond to help prepare me for the launch of the first book in The Rock & the Rose series. I cannot imagine how I would have navigated this process without their expertise, guidance, and understanding. It was invaluable; they were indispensable.
