nearing 30 and Jake crossed that threshold only a few years earlier. Life might
pass them by if they don't take the chance.
But she and Jake soon learn la dolce vita is far more complicated than they imagined when they
are catapulted into a world full of intrigue, deceit, and infidelity lurking
behind the sunny piazzas and crumbling ruins.
Their lives spin out of control when naïve Jake, cast
adrift as the trailing spouse, is sucked into a gang of antiquity thieves. Laura
is left to find her own way the city of yearning, of echoes, of illusions. What
will she do? Preserve her marriage at all costs or search elsewhere for the key
to the happiness she desires?

Bio:
Ran away to the Circus (Maximus) in mid-life. In reality I worked for the United Nations in Rome for four years as a legal advisor to the director of human resources. When the contract was up my husband and I reluctantly returned to the US. But we pined for the land of pasta, vino, art, and sunny piazzas. Then the gods smiled and offered a chance to return to Rome. Six more years in the Eternal City passed much too quickly.
Now back in the US, I volunteer for arts and literary organizations when not traveling to Italy and other places on my list. And whenever I am in Rome I toss coins into the Trevi Fountain to ensure yet another return to enjoy la dolce vita.
