The Italian Affair
About
What She Wants is Not on the Menu...
Sabina’s life is a study in control—wealth, status, a marriage that looks perfect from the outside.
But beneath the silk and smiles, something wilder stirs. A remembering.
Then, Italy.
And him.
Gianmarco isn’t just a younger man or a sommelier with hands that know how to hold a wineglass—he knows how to hold a woman’s gaze.
He’s a living provocation: against her duty, her age, the life she thought she’d chosen.
This is not a billionaire fantasy.
There are no princes. No rescues.
Just one summer and one impossible connection.
And a love that asks her to risk everything…
for one true moment of being seen.
But this is more than a love story.
It’s an awakening.
A slow unraveling of the sensuous woman she was never allowed to be.
For readers who love:
- The emotional depth of Bridges of Madison County (but this time, she chooses herself)
- The sensual escapism of Under the Tuscan Sun (with forbidden heat)
The Italian Affair is for rebels who know:
Desire doesn’t expire at forty. It deepens. Like you.

"A sexual foodie’s decadent drive through Italy. I devoured every morsel." — Mordred
"A steamy and indulgent read that transported me straight to Italy with its rich descriptions of food, wine, and romance. Sabina’s affair with Gianmarco was passionate and intense, but what stood out was how the novel explored desire, loneliness, and self-discovery beyond just the physical attraction. While infidelity is a tricky subject, the author handles it with emotional depth, making Sabina’s journey both compelling and thought-provoking." — Raisa
