Cover reveal for MEET ME IN ITALY
Of all the books I’ve written, this is the cover I was most eager to see—and my publisher did not disappoint. Isn’t the cover for MEET ME IN ITALY spectacular?
Last year, when we went for Alexa and Vinny’s wedding, we spent nearly a month in Italy—much of it on the Amalfi Coast—and I completely fell in love. The book is set in Praiano; I even included the very villa we stayed in. The view from San Gennaro Cathedral (Chiesa di San Gennaro), which sits in the heart of the village square in Vettica Maggiore, inspired the cover.
