Romance naturally emanates from Venice, a city of passion and eroticism. This was the case for Mara, a Nebraskan writer who emigrated from the United States fourteen years ago. One of her newly published novels brings passion to her, when the son of an ex-lover comes looking for resolution. Having read the book, which Mara based on her and her lover's real-life interlude, James finds Mara and they are instantly enamored with each other. They will encounter sensuality, love, and danger.
