An Italian Romance
(Gilded Age Belles Romance)
Audra Blake, the daughter of a powerful New York City financier, has always been the perfect jewel in her family’s crown. Yet when they embark on a yachting voyage along the sun-drenched shores of the Italian Riviera, Audra hopes for more than just another self-indulgent holiday.
Born into one of Italy’s oldest noble families, Prince Giancarlo di Savona has spent his life surrounded by opulence and expectation. The azure waters of the Mediterranean, with its stunning cliffs and azure waters, are his refuge—the only place where he can escape the heavy expectations of his title. But as much as he loves his homeland, Carlo feels burdened by the responsibilities necessary for preserving its legacy.
As he and Audra explore the hidden corners of the Riviera together—its ancient caves, secluded beaches, and charming villages—their connection deepens into something neither of them anticipated. Carlo shows her a world far removed from the one she’s known, where passion and tradition intertwine in ways that fascinate and frighten her. In turn, Audra brings a sense of lightness and modernity to Carlo’s life, awakening a desire that he’s long suppressed.
When love is a rare luxury, will theirs be enough to overcome the obstacles ahead?
