The Rome Apartment (The Italian Escape Book 1)

Standing outside Villa Alba with her suitcase in hand, Beth can’t help but wonder what lies ahead beyond the building’s magnificent wrought iron gates. A few months earlier, when her daughter left home for college, Beth assumed that she and husband Joel would be enjoying a few adventures of their own – until he said he needed some time away from her! Looking for an escape, Beth answers a magazine ad for an apartment in Rome. It’s available to rent for three months but only to “an English woman of a certain age“. Ronnie, the 75 year old owner, has a few other tricks up her sleeve. She gives Beth a series of tasks, one of which is to live life to the full by finding beauty in simple things, but the toughest of them all? Find an unsuitable man to date! Handsome musician Rico is almost certainly unsuitable, but he may yet be the right man to give Beth a much needed spark. Is Beth ready to embrace a new life of exciting possibilities and risk losing everything?
