"One of the queens of historical fiction" offers a new
take on the mesmerizing young woman and poetess who inspired
Shakespeare's most famous female character.
Before Juliet Capelletti lie two futures: a traditionally
loveless marriage to her father's business partner, or the
fulfillment of her poetic dreams, inspired by the great
Dante. Unlike her beloved friend Lucrezia, who looks forward
to her arranged marriage, Juliet has a wild, romantic
imagination that knows not the bounds of her great family's
stalwart keep.
The latter path is hers for the
taking when Juliet meets Romeo Monticecco, a soulful young
man seeking peace between their warring families. A dreamer
himself, Romeo is unstoppable, once he determines to capture
the heart of the remarkable woman foretold in his stars. The
breathless intrigue that ensues is the stuff of beloved
legend. But those familiar with Shakespeare's muse know only
half the story...
