Annotation:
Following up on the success of her bestseller VERY VALENTINE, Adriana Trigiani presents the second part of a proposed trilogy which continues the story of Valentine Roncalli, a sexy New York shoemaker, who is in Tuscany for her grandmother's wedding. While Valentine is thrilled for her grandmother, she is nervous about inheriting the renowned family business, especially when her condescending brother is brought on board to manage the finances. As Valentine struggles to modernize and expand her family's business, her long-distance romance with Italian hunk Gianluca gets pushed to the back burner, even as he tries to turn up the heat with a series of steamy letters. Meanwhile, her enterprising brother falls for a married woman, and brings in Valentine's ex-fiancé to help run things, stirring up a lot of trouble for Trigiani to resolve in the future conclusion of the series.

Praise
"Fans of the 'Big Stone Gap' series loved Adriana Trigiani's writing style and ability to bring voice to characters. Her latest series achieves the same strong sense of character in a vastly different setting: New York City....Trigiani does a fine job making Valentine a flawed character..."
