Bellini's Mimosa
(Book)

Mimi Albizia is at the end of an energizing six-month interlude in Verona, Italy. Before returning to Boston to face the cause of her unjust, forced “break,” she spends a final weekend in Venice, soaking up the mystery and romance suffusing its labyrinth of narrow streets and canals. But after an encounter with a sexy-as-hell stranger, she takes home more than just a lovely memory—namely, a yearning she can’t satisfy. Jake Bellini is in no rush to accept his predestined position at his family’s resort hotel on Martha’s Vineyard—or to collect dust in a stuffy law office. At thirty-three, he prefers life at his uncle’s Tuscan vineyard, where he pursues his love for winemaking and keeps his relationships casual…until meeting Mimi creates new longings, and he realizes life is about much more than grapes and breathtaking sunsets. How can Jake and Mimi overcome the distance between the weathered coast of New England and the rolling hills of Tuscany?
