Gemma Jericho is an overworked New York doctor with a handful of a teenage daughter and a mother who worried that Gemma has no life. So when her mother, Nonna, received a mysterious letter telling her about an even more mysterious inheritanmce in Tuscany, the three of them throw caution to the wind and leave for Italy. What they find is a crumbling village and a town divided: half believe Nonna's villa belongs to Ben Raphael, an unnervingly handsome American.
