    Santa Lucia Series

    About this series

    Rumors. Romance. And more than a little espresso.

    Santa Lucia has seen a lot of changes, and they've made life for the villagers harder than they ever imagined. Creating a working vineyard. Parenting a teenage daughter. Romance with the mayor. Being gay in a quintessential Italian village. None of these are easy, and everyone is feeling the pressure as their annual festival nears.

    The villagers are back for one last passeggiata through the flower-lined alleys of Santa Lucia. Swapping gossip at the local cafe has never been so delicious until a storm of secrets threatens the village's very survival.

    With the rain beginning to fall and the wine turning to vinegar in the barrels, can the villagers bring themselves back into the wavering blue light of Santa Lucia?

      An Italian cafe. A barista with an eye for trouble. And a village determined to create as much as possible. Chiara has presided over the espresso machine at Bar Birbo for as long as anyone can remember. In Santa Lucia, this is the only place to go for a cappuccino served with a side of gossip. The town's residents rely on each other and feel almost like a family, but their secrets are kept well hidden. While romance is in the air for some, the truth behind the love affairs is far more complicated than anyone can imagine. When everyone has ulterior motives and unspoken desires, it's only a matter of time before things finally come to a head. And unfortunately for the townspeople, the revelations could prove deadly. Can the residents of Santa Lucia survive the inferno of their own making? Or will they burn in the flames?

      A ruined castle. A town picking up the pieces. And a mysterious stranger who could change everything. The fire may be out, but smoke and suspicion still linger in Santa Lucia. Though the townspeople still gather for espresso at the town cafe and swap recipes at the butcher shop, their iridescent blue sky is clouded by a veil of uncertainty and mistrust. The statue of the Madonna, set in a wall outside the cafe, watches it all in collected silence. But when New Yorker Alessandro arrives to claim his inheritance-the derelict castle and the charred olive trees that surround it-it unearths secrets thought long buried. His renovation plans set off a chain reaction of dangerous relationships and forbidden romance while exposing explosive truths-not just for himself, but for all the people who call this village home. Can the power of the Madonna save Alessandro and the villagers? Or will the truths brought to the surface trap Santa Lucia in an inescapable web of deceit and anger?
