The Love Fool

Available in paperback, ebook

ABOUT THE LOVE FOOL

Alex recently moved to Italy for an opportunity at a PR firm in Rome. His first client is the beautiful Danish chef Pernille Bjørn, a popular model, TV personality, and cookbook author just entering the booming televised cooking show market in Italy.

Alex’s single minded-career focus is soon thwarted by Emily, an ex-girlfriend he hasn’t heard from in almost a decade.

The NEW Book Club Edition includes discussion questions and recipes.


Italy’s modern culture and enchanting sights set the backdrop to this Rome-antic comedy.
