In 1959, thirty-five-year-old Peggy was swept away into another time and country. After the unexpected death of her husband, Peggy sought a new backdrop and moved with her four-year-old twin sons, Craig and Mark, and eleven-year-old daughter, Barbara, to Florence, Italy. It was a nine-day voyage that changed her life and ultimately rooted her family in two countries. The American Contessa narrates the adventure of this middle-class American widow who traveled to Italy intending to stay for one year, yet remained there for twenty. This memoir tells about the struggles of adopting a new language and learning about centuries-old traditions and mores that she both admired and misunderstood. Her story chronicles her marriage to Conte Giorgio Magherini, a member of the Italian-landed aristocracy, and of the family's sojourns through numerous Tuscan villas before coming to rest at Norcenni, Giorgio's ancestral home. With photos included, this memoir captures the enchantment of Italy through the eyes of Peggy's family and provides an engaging and insightful look into the world of an American contessa.

This three generation saga begins in June 1944 when a young British officer, Robert Lonsdale, heir to banker sir George Lonsadale, is wounded as Allied forces are chasing a retreating enemy across Tuscany, near the Castello of his aunt, English born Contessa Lydia San Germano, and helped to safety by attractive 18 year old Rosa, an orphaned peasant girl from Southern Italy who works for her. Robert and she fall in love and plan to marry but, due to the war and a series of events and mishaps, that will only take place 30 years later when this first part of the saga ends. The action moves between Tuscany, London, Warwickshire, New York and Rome, and tells of the joys and tragedies of a woman whom fate both cuddles and flays, of the men who love her, of her sons, of the castello in the Chianti hills where everything started, and which finally becomes hers.

Queen of Hearts It had been five years since Guy d'Harnoncourt abandoned Contessa Francesca Ducci Montaldo for another. But nothing could dim Francesca's passion for Guy, or her hatred for his brother Belden, whom she blamed for ending their betrothal when her family fortunes declined. When Belden d'Harnoncourt rode to Belvedere Castle bearing a wounded Guy, Francesca vowed to heal her faithless lover -- and seek vengeance on the brother who tore him from her arms. King of Mercenaries Belden, Sire of Harnoncourt, was hired by Tuscan nobles to protect them from French invaders. But no enemy posed greater danger than the beguiling Contessa whose legendary healing was his brother's only hope. Even as Francesca sheltered them from marauders, Belden knew his most perilous battle lay ahead -- a battle for intimate possession of the ravishing beauty who held his heart in her hands...

Longlisted for the CWA International Dagger 2017. Spring, 1967. The trail of tragedy and destruction that followed the previous winter's flood seems to have died down; Florence is beginning to recover. But Inspector Bordelli does not feel the same sense of relief - he has not had a moment's peace since his investigation of a young boy's murder went disastrously wrong. Unsettled and embittered, Bordelli resigns from the force and leaves the city. He could not continue to work as a policeman while the perpetrators of such a terrible crime were still at large. Now, in the solitude of his new home in the Tuscan hills, he spends his days cooking, going for long walks and learning to grow his own vegetables. But the thought of that case - of justice not served - is constantly with him. Until fate, in which he has never believed, unexpectedly offers him the chance of retribution . . .
