Romance Contemporary
A linguist and English teacher, 36-year-old widow, and mother of two, Ramona Elise starts to fall for one of her students-a gorgeous 25-year-old Italian immigrant whose name just happens to be Leonardo da Vinci. She knows she shouldn't take him home, but he has nowhere to live and barely speaks English.
She helps him forge a new life in America, and he helps her to find joy again after grieving her beloved husband. Together they come through a difficult transition, re-awakening to life and love.
"Malena Lott's charming, heartfelt novel about how grieving widow Ramona Elise gets her groove back will have you cheering 'bravissimo' as 'Mona Lisa' experiences her own Renaissance, courtesy of one very hot Leonardo da Vinci." -Jenny Gardiner, author of Sleeping with Ward Cleaver
What readers are saying about Malena Lott's women's fiction:
"Sweet and funny and very real."
"A very positive story with a strong female protagonist."
"Funny and refreshing."
