Traitors should be shot,’ he spat, his eyes glittering dangerously in the moonlight. He raised the gun and took aim. A certain small yet highly influential character says, ‘ No man is worth losing your self-respect…’ Indeed!
It’s Bianca,’ she explained, naming Carina’s wedding planner. ‘You need to decide about the stemware for the champagne reception. Flutes or coupes?’ Weather presenting legend Carol Kirkwood joined The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with cinch to talk about her “glamorous” and “escapist” third novel, Secrets of the Villa Amore.Giorgio, we’re almost married. Surely it doesn’t matter if we . . .’ She let the question hang, an unspoken invitation. Carol replied: "Yes." Nina said: "Are you reading a book at the moment Carol? What are you reading?" The meteorologist replied: "More or less," after Nina quizzed her on whether she "always had a book on the go." Then he ran too, and kept on running, and didn’t stop until he was far away from that dreadful moment. The actual story is set in 2005. While books set in the past only recreate a similar setting, this one feels like it was written at the same time but dusted and edited for publishing in 2023. Not sure I can explain it right, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the book is an old manuscript.
You might be writing a book, are you?" Carol replied: "I am, yes. My third one." Carol giggled as Jon said: "Are you writing through the weekend? Are you still writing?" Wait! the young man wanted to shout, but knowing it was futile the word died on his lips. He nodded as their eyes met for a split second.When Tom asked what she does about the sleep deprivation, she simply replied with a laugh: “Nothing!”
With that he darted out into the alleyway. Turning only once, he said, ‘Remember, my girl, the promise?’ It was all Carina could do not to roll her eyes. ‘Whatever you think is best, Mamma. Your taste is always impeccable.’ The wedding will take place in Villa Amore, where family and friends will gather but there are so many secrets that will blow up around this union. Why has Carina's dad hired a bodyguard for her and how will she feel with Tom following her everywhere ? What secrets are Salvador keeping from his wife and Carina, and will their marriage crumble when she leaves. What has the groom been up to and why has he gone to America a week before the wedding?The two soldiers had fled along with the others, peeling off down an alleyway, their hearts heaving in their chests as they concealed themselves in a doorway, the whistles of the carabinieri could be heard close by. I came to tell you both the news,’ Salvatore announced. ‘I’ve signed a deal with Heritage Estates. They’ve agreed to be the exclusive distributor for Casa di Russo across the whole of North America, with an agreement to increase the supply year on year over the next decade. We’ll have to expand the vineyard and increase production, but this is what we’ve been working for, yes? It secures our future – for the whole family, but especially for you, number one daughter,’ he told Carina.
She teased: “All the guests gather, and their murder, jealousy, intrigue, betrayal and romance are all about to be revealed… and some secrets.” When then? Philippa knew that once she’d made up her mind, Rafaella wouldn’t be swayed, and she’d get no more from her today. But the conversation had left her unsatisfied, and she found herself wondering what Rafaella was alluding to. Carina’s mother, Philippa, was Scottish. At first glance, people often thought Carina was too, with her light skin and fair colouring, but those close to her knew that she was Italian through and through – fiercely loyal, quietly determined, with a stubborn streak that meant she wasn’t afraid to fight her corner and stand her ground. They emerged onto the deserted street. The breeze was warm but carried the acrid smell of smoke and the stench of diesel from the ships in the harbour. There was a palpable sense of tension in the air. They’d already lived through three years of war, and it seemed it was far from over yet.Rafaella shook her head. ‘It was a long time ago, it doesn’t matter now . . . after the war—’ She clamped her lips tightly shut. ‘No, this is not the time.’ And went about her kneading with renewed gusto.
