Publisher's Synopsis
One secret. Two lives changed forever.
When Timothy Hamilton uncovers letters tied to an old WWII love story, he doesn't expect the trail to lead him to a small village in Italy-or to a man who looks exactly like him.
As Tim dives deeper into his family's hidden past, he finds himself caught between two lives: the familiar world he left behind in England, and one he's never known-full of sun-soaked streets, generational silence, and a woman he wasn't supposed to meet. Adriana, a coastal veterinarian haunted by her own choices, isn't looking for love. But some truths rewrite everything.
Set between present-day Italy and the echoes of wartime memory, Italian Origin is a slow-burn romance about identity, heritage, and love that refuses to stay buried. For readers who enjoy character-driven fiction, emotional tension, and stories where the past still lives in the present.
