What she
doesn't want the hero to know: Nothing. She’s an open book – not that he believes
that for one moment.
We'd be her
friend because... She’s
kind, generous, loving, funny and just human enough to wish swollen ankles on
her ex’s pregnant new love.
In her
words…
Italians are
incredibly elegant, even in the classroom and my first task was a complete
revamp of my working wardrobe. It was tough, but I know you’ll appreciate my
sacrifice.
Spending so much on clothes had come as a bit of a
shock to the system but her savings account was no longer burdened with price
of her dream wedding dress. And handing over her credit card to pay for her
spending spree had slammed the door on any lingering hope that Tom might come back. That her sacrifice in giving up
her job so that he could return to Maybridge High would bring him to his
senses.
It was too late for him to be having regrets.
There is also
a rule that no one should come to Italy without buying at least one
pair of shoes. I bought these. And these. And these.
She stretched out her foot to admire the sandal she
was wearing. Well, she wasn’t on holiday. One pair was never going to be enough
and, just to make the point, she picked up her phone and took a photograph of
it.
As you can
see, there is a lot more to Rome than a load of
old ruins but since you’re expecting churches and I wouldn’t want to disappoint
you, this is Santa Maria del Popolo. You’ll probably recognise it
from one of the gorier bits in the film Angels & Demons.
Rome
boring? I think not.
It was probably not quite what the Head had in mind
when he’d asked her to write a blog about working in Rome, Sarah
thought. With luck he’d remove the link from the school website sooner rather
than later. Then, as she loaded up the pictures, she wondered if Tom would bother to read it. Whether Louise could resist taking a look.
Those shoes would evoke envy in the heart of any
woman. Especially one whose ankles were swelling…
Several of her ex-colleagues had made a point of
texting her to let her know that Louise
was pregnant, but not before Tom had
told her himself. Wanting her to know before she heard it from anyone else. As
if it would hurt any less.
She gave herself a mental bad-girl slap as she
clicked “post”, but there were limits to her nobility.
What's the book about?
Could stepping into the past make your
future perfect? Sarah’s been dumped.
Unceremoniously. Painfully. A romantic at heart and a historian by profession, Sarah has always wondered about her grandfather’s
wartime romance in Italy.
Who was that brave woman who cared for him during the war? Clearly this is the
time to heal her wounds with the trip of a lifetime to Rome and maybe find a hot Italian lover to
take her mind off the past. Armed only with a photo of the house her
grandfather stayed in, the village, and the name Lucia,
Sarah sets out to find her…and meets
the beautiful Italian count Matteo
di Serrone there. Now here’s a man
who could move Sarah on from her
broken heart! It’s a fairy-tale romance, until Sarah
realises she’s made the most rookie mistake of all: falling in love with her
holiday fling…
