The Echoes of Love is a
touching love story that unfolds at the turn of the new millennium, set in the
romantic and mysterious city of Venice and the beautiful landscape of Tuscany.
It is a tale of a lost love and betrayal, unbleached passion and learning to
love again – and a terrible truth that will change the lives of two strangers
forever.
Venetia Aston-Montagu has escaped to
Italy’s most captivating city to work in her godmother’s architectural
practice, putting a lost love behind her. For the past ten years she has built
a fortress around her heart, only to find the walls tumbling down one night of
the carnival when she is rescued from masked assailants by an enigmatic stranger, Paolo
Barone.
Drawn to the powerfully seductive Paolo,
despite warnings of his Don Juan reputation and rumours that he keeps a
mistress, Venetia can’t help being caught up in the smouldering passion that
ignites between them.
When she finds herself assigned to a project at his magnificent home deep in
the Tuscan countryside, Venetia must not only contend with a beautiful young
rival, but also come face to face with the dark shadows of Paolo’s past that
threaten to come between them.
Can Venetia trust that love will triumph,
even over her own demons? Or will Paolo’s carefully guarded, devastating secret
tear them apart forever?
