Hallie Elliot has a perfect life. She is an up-and-coming
interior designer in one of San Francisco’s most sought
after firms, and has just recently become engaged to Peter,
a brilliant young journalist. But when she stumbles upon
Peter and her boss in what seems to be a compromising
position, her trust in her perfect life is shaken.
So Hallie escapes to Lake Como, Italy to spend time with her
half-sister, Portia Tesoro, an Italian blueblood dealing
with the scandal of a public estrangement from her cheating
husband. While staying in the Tesoro villa, Hallie falls in
love with the splendor and beauty of Lake Como, and finds
work designing the lakeside estate of a reclusive American
tech mogul. The caretaker of this beautiful estate is a
handsome man named Angus, and Hallie finds herself drawn to
his charm and kindness, despite hints of a dark secret in
his past.
But just as Hallie is beginning to find her footing on
Italian soil, she uncovers a family secret that upends all
the truths she’s believed about herself, and calls into
question the new life she’s built in Lake Como.
Sisterhood, family, career, and sumptuous descriptions of
Italian life fill the pages of this newest offering by Anita
Hughes. Lake Como is a heartbreaking and heartwarming story
of love, self-discovery, and the quest for truth.
