Synopsis

**Italians don’t follow their hearts—they lead with them.** Valentina immerses herself into the planning for Angelina and Benjamin's wedding. Just as life is settling down for everyone, people from Valentina's past surface, and she is arrested for the murder of Angelina's first husband. *Has Valentina been lying to Angelina all this time?* This second book in the six-book series set primarily in Northern Italy, but with scenes in New Jersey, presents the relationships between three main characters: Angelina, a native of Rimini, Italy in her mid-thirties, unexpectedly expecting and with an unexpected engagement; her multi-talented over-protective godmother Valentina, now filling the role of Angelina's de facto mother as they prepare for the wedding; and, Benjamin, a native of New Jersey in his mid-thirties, divorced, soon to be married and a father. The characters interact with historically accurate events and locations, and the story reflects the language, culture, traditions, and history of Northern Italy.
