Overview
A vintage necklace. A long-hidden secret. A second chance for love.When costume designer Ariana Ricci leaves her groom at the altar, she seeks solace at the Palm Springs home of her great-aunt, a Texas-born Hollywood legend who began her career as an extra on the film Roman Holiday. While opening yellowed, 1950s letters postmarked Italy, Ariana discovers relics from her great-aunt's hidden past, including an intriguing necklace that Audrey Hepburn gave her during the filming of the movie. Aching for a fresh start and the chance to resolve an unfinished story, the two embark on a journey to the sun-dappled, elegant shores of Lake Como, Italy that will illuminate secrets of a bygone era and offer second chances to each of them-if they are bold enough to seize them. From Jan Moran, a USA Today bestselling author of romantic women's fiction, including The Chocolatier, comes a saga of love and second chances at any age. Also enjoy her contemporary Summer Beach series and the historical novels, The Winemakers and Scent of Triumph. Hepburn's Necklace will be available in ebook, trade paperback, audiobook, hardcover, and large print editions. Preorder now or save to your Wish List for print and audiobook editions.
