When she felt her new life falling apart, she fled to Venice, and watched her life go to pieces…
An Italian in California, Lella York proves that you can take the woman out of Italy, but you can’t take Italy out of the woman. Convinced her lover is cheating on her with his ex-wife, Lella is hiding out in Venice, Italy, where her son Kyle is wrapping up a film. Passionate, impulsive, and menopausal, she sees her romance hiatus cut short when the papers name her the femme fatale lover of an iconic Italian actor who disappears without a trace. Lella and Kyle criss-cross European borders to escape the rabid Italian paparazzi, but her complications grow thanks to her son’s seemingly serious relationship with a spicy little Italian dish, and the hurt feelings of her lover who’s shown up half way around the world facing his own crisis as well as Lella’s rejection. Never one to lose her sense of humor despite the flare up of danger and hot flashes, Lella must once again face down evil with her illimitable Italian flair.
