Lily and William, who discovered love in The Book of Love, are planning their new life together in Rome when Poppy, Lily's big sister, announces that she's found an uncle and cousin they'd never heard of before. Their joy at meeting their new family comes crashing down when their double-crossing cousin Andy accuses William of stealing and attempted murder. A valuable fragment from a Roman frieze has been stolen from Andy's father and Andy is pointing the finger at William, while also trying to woo his cousin Lily. He's a bad piece of work and Lily has to act quickly to save William, retrieve the fragment and bring Andy to justice. An urgent flight to Italy, some smart work in Andy's hotel room and quick thinking on a dark night on the Amalfi coast might just be enough to right the wrongs, or see Lily become the next victim in the crazy web woven by Andy's addled mind.
A marvellous mix of mayhem, action, charm and love as Lily and William, brought together thanks to The Book of Love, look forward to a new life in Rome. - Woman's Day From the streets of Sydney to Rome, this is an adventurous debut from an Australian author with a knack for turning the minutia of life into something delicious - Cosmopolitan on The Book of Love This Aussie rom-com, Fioretti's debut, has a dash of mystery and suspense you'll love - NW magazine on The Book of Love Phillipa Fioretti's debut novel is a light-hearted, fast-paced read ...
