An Italian Affair by Evie Baxter

Title: An Italian Affair (link to Amazon)

Author: Evie Baxter

This is Italy in a pre-Covid world, with dark handsome men, family bonds and intrigues, amazing food and a non-touristy side to Venice - Baxter has created a lovely story building on her previous experience working onboard cruise ships.  

Ella thought she had found a perfect man in Alex, her Staff Captain onboard the cruise ship where she's working as a Shore Excursion Manager, but her hopes are scattered when he returns from his holiday with a fiancée in tow! Somehow he 'forgot' to mention that he was already in a relationship when he was pursuing Ella whilst at sea.

Sandro is enjoying a quiet meal in his hometown Venice when he spots a lovely woman eating alone. The attraction is immediate and strong, but he's preoccupied with planning how he can sort out the mess his father has dumped in his lap, and does not approach her.

'An Italian affair' is the third book by Evie Baxter. Previous books include 'You can't always get what you want' and 'Sugar Baby'.
