The cobbled streets and simmering heat of Italy’s capital are brought to life in The Rome Affair.

1974 and Viscontessa Elena Damiani lives a gilded life, born to wealth and a noted beauty. Then she meets the love of her life, and he is the one man she can never have. 2017 and Francesca Hackett is living la dolce vita in Rome, forgetting the ghosts she left behind in London. When a twist of fate brings her into Elena’s orbit, the two women form an unlikely friendship.

As summer unfurls, Elena shares her sensational stories with Cesca, who agrees to work on Elena’s memoir. But when a priceless diamond ring found in an ancient tunnel below the city streets is ascribed to Elena, Cesca begins to suspect a shocking secret lies at the heart of the Viscontessa’s life . . .

Summer at TIFFANY’S

‘Glamorous, romantic and totally engrossing’

My Weekly

A wedding to plan. A wedding to stop. What could go wrong?

With a Tiffany ring on her finger, all Cassie has to do is plan her dream wedding. It should be simple, but when her fiancé Henry pushes for a date, Cassie pulls back. Meanwhile Henry’s wild cousin Gem is racing to the aisle for her own wedding at a sprint, determined to marry in the Cornish church where her parents were wed. But the family is set against it, and Cassie resolves to stop the wedding.

When Henry lands an expedition sailing the Pacific for the summer, Cassie decamps to Cornwall, hoping to find the peace of mind she needs to move forwards. But in the dunes and coves of the north Cornish coast, she soon discovers the past isn’t finished with her yet . . .
