That's Amore

About the book

It wasn’t until she walked away that it became clear it was love.

He realized too late that she was the love of his life.

When Elysa Costa married Dante Giordano, it wasn’t out of love. It was a marriage of convenience - a merging of tradition and legacy. However, what began as a duty soon transformed into something more for Elysa as she fell in love with her husband.

Dante, weighed down by expectations and unsure of his feelings, viewed his marriage purely as an obligation, maintaining a friendly but distant relationship with his wife.

Following the funeral of Dante’s grandfather - the orchestrator of their marriage - Elysa overhears her husband expressing his regret to a friend, wishing he wasn’t tied to her and pondering if another woman would be a better fit as his wife.

Heartbroken and unwilling to accept a loveless existence, Elysa packs her belongings, files for divorce, and walks away, determined to find the happiness she deserves.

Once Elysa departs, the reality hits Dante like a ton of bricks. He had been falling in love with his wife all along and he wanted no one but her. As he embarks on a mission to win back Elysa, he must confront his past behaviors and evolve into the husband she needs. Amidst the stunning backdrop of Italy, surrounded by candlelit restaurants and quaint streets, Dante must demonstrate that his love - authentic, messy, heart-stopping - is genuine and enduring.
