From Italy With Love Book 2
Get it here!
Sun, spaghetti and sparkling prosecco. When it comes to finding love, there’s no place like Rome…
Kate is living the dream with her gorgeous boyfriend Alessandro in his native city, but the reality is sometimes a little less romantic than she’d hoped. Every day in her new home is a fight against leaking pipes, her cantankerous landlord and her less-than-perfect grasp of the Italian lingo.
All around her there is talk of weddings, but when a secret from her past is thrust out into the open, Kate must fight to prove to Alessandro’s Mamma – and the rest of his formidable family – that she truly is Italian marriage material.
With the women in Alessandro’s life on a mission to break them apart, the cracks begin to show and Kate starts to question if Alessandro really is the man of her dreams. Can love and the city of romance conquer all, or is that just a fairy-tale?
Let Rome steal your heart this summer in this gorgeously romantic escapist read. Perfect for fans of Jo Thomas and Abby Clements.

Acknowledgements
If, as you turn the last page of this book, you think to yourself, I’d love to read that all over again, spare a thought for my long-suffering friend and erstwhile agent, Peta Nightingale. She had to read this book more times than she probably cares to remember, and always found a spark of something that made her go back and do it again. If you turn the final page and think, That was a cracking book, then that’s down to her too. She trawled through all the previous drafts, waving her magic wand so that you would see only the final sparkly one.
And while I have your attention, I have many others to thank too. Firstly, my ever-patient family and friends, who never complain when I turn from a Mogwai to a Gremlin if they dare disturb my work time! I have to thank all the wonderful book bloggers, readers, and people of social media, who are endlessly encouraging and supportive. The same can be said for my fantastic author friends, in particular Mel, Holly, Jack, Jaimie and Emma, and so many others too numerous to list here but just as important. I have to shout out to my editor at Bookouture, Cara Chimirri, who has worked so hard and so enthusiastically to get Worth Waiting For polished up for a new lease of life. It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with her and I’m looking forward to our future projects with a great deal of excitement! As always, I have to thank lots of others at Bookouture, including Alexandra Holmes, Kim Nash, Noelle Holten, Sarah Hardy and Alex Crow.
I’d also like to give a special mention to Philippa Milnes-Smith at The Soho Agency for being such a great caretaker of my early books.
Finally, I have to say, in the words of Abba, thank you for the music. It was sitting on a train listening to a fantastic song on my iPod that inspired this story.
