Desserted in Sicily — Nancy Barone

When Gillian is dumped by her husband while on holiday in Sicily, she has two choices: either eat her heart out- or eat all sorts of desserts with the sexy local playboy... In an attempt to resuscitate her twenty-five year-old marriage, GILLIAN DOBSON knocks down a few tranquilizers and takes the dreaded flight to the Sicilian island of Lipari to surprise her husband, away on a business trip. Big mistake- he has Alternative Female Company. To preserve what's left of her dignity, Gillian has no choice but to dash out into the street in her bathrobe, her life practically over. In her drugged, confused state, she is (almost) hit by a car. The driver turns out to be the younger, sex-on-a-stick local playboy, MATTIA SPADARO, a cross between Adonis and Rudolph Valentino. And a flirt extraordinaire. If simply looking at him gives her electric shock, anything more would surely give her a heart attack? What's worse, they share a wild passion for Sicilian desserts. Just what she needs- another man who's bad for her. But between the cannoli and the Sicilian ice cream, when Gillian must make a few life-changing decisions, will Mattia really be there for her or will she once again be... Desserted in Sicily?
