Amore and Pinot Grigio — Veronica Bell

When Sigrid O'Herlihy and Sandro Totti meet a short time before Christmas--with the help of an injured cat and a pink Vespa--the last thing either wants is love. Sigrid can't forget the betrayal of her ex-fiance, and Sandro can't forget the Italian beauty who broke his heart. But the attraction between Sigrid and Sandro is sizzling, so they decide to give lust a try. Love, after all, is for the naive and Sigrid and Sandro, both in their thirties and both determined to avoid future pain and take a more practical approach. With the Eternal City as their playground, the pair enjoy their Vespas--and occasionally Sandro's fancy Italian sports car--fine wine, and helping homeless animals. A holiday visit to Sandro's family in Tuscany, however, threatens their no-strings agreement and forces the pair to face their feelings and their fears. Will a little Christmas spirit be enough to bring about a leap of faith?
