Publisher Description

She's Dr. Isabel Favor, America's diva of self-help.

He's Ren Gage, Hollywood's favorite villain.

Sometimes you just know that God has a sense of humor.

Dr. Isabel Favor has sacrificed everything to build her self-help empire. Then, in a matter of weeks, it all comes crashing down. She loses her money, her fiancé, and her reputation. Broke, heartsick, and soul-weary, she heads for Italy in search of a little breathing room.

Lorenzo Gage makes his living killing people .. on the silver screen, that is. He's viciously handsome and sublimely talented. While on vacation in Italy he spots Isabel sipping a glass of wine in a sidewalk café. A good guy wouldn't think of seducing such a tidy-looking woman... but he'd never seen the fun in playing the hero.

A farmhouse nestled in a Tuscan olive grove can't provide Isabel with the refuge she needs -- not when the townspeople are scheming to drive her away, and her plan to restore her reputation has come up empty. And especially not when the man who deceived her refuses to leave her in peace.

"Good book. I always like Ms. Phillip's characters. Her story is heartwarming and fun. I had a good time reading this book. Isabel and Ren are a match. Great chemistry. The secondary romance between Tracy and Harry Briggs is really good too! Their love was so real. It touched me. "

    " I liked it - didn't love it, laugh out loud, or have that "can't put it down" experience like I have had with several of her other books. I would give it 3 1/2 stars if I could, because I liked the characters and the setting. It DID make me want to re-visit Italy! I will read it again sometime, and maybe it will strike my fancy then.

    " Love her and this was a fun, one-day read. The heroine was a little unlikeable for a me at first and her spirituality was a little much for me at times, but SEP's dialogue is always great. "

    " This was fun! Ren and Isabel had some good snappy dialogue, and I liked the way the flirtation built into something more serious as the book went on. Isabel felt a little stiff to me, as a character, though. "

    " A love story that takes place in Italy and of course there is a wine harvest and festival. This is a somewhat more intelligently written love story. The characters emotions appear real and appropriate to today's men and women. "
