Beneath the Lion's Wings by Marie Ohanesian Nardin

Good escape reading in this tale of love and tough decisions in Venice. - Kirkus Reviews
The next best thing to sipping a Bellini on a sunny balcony overlooking the Grand Canal. Pure delight. - Dianne Hales, author of La Bella Lingua
Victoria Greco has given up on finding love. A thirtysomething single woman who works as an executive assistant for a prominent Hollywood talent agent, she's fully focused on building her career. But then, while she's vacationing in Venice, a handsome fourth-generation gondolier rows alongside her water taxi.
When Alvise invites her to dinner, Victoria is hesitant. But their chemistry is too strong to ignore, and it would be a shame to pass up a date while in one of the most romantic cities in the world. Hoping she's not making a big mistake, Victoria goes out with Alvise and then happily spends the night in his arms.
When Victoria returns home to Southern California, she's surprised to discover she can't get the charming Italian boatman out of her mind. She's thrilled when he e-mails her, confessing he can't stop thinking about her either. Daringly, Victoria invites him to visit.
Once reunited, they fall completely in love. But when Alvise starts talking about settling down and starting a family, Victoria is torn. She's always put her career first. Should she continue down the current path? Or should she follow her heart to Venice?

Ohanesian Nardin, Marie: - Marie Ohanesian Nardin, born in Los Angeles, California, has always loved to travel. That passion brought her to Italy where she fell for a man and his city; a serendipitous occurrence that changed her life, and inspired her to write her debut novel Beneath the Lion's Wings. Since her move to Italy, the former banker has restored a two hundred year old rustic barn that became the home where she raised her two children, and where she learned to appreciate a good glass of red wine and cook delicious risotto, homemade soups and pasta, and the Nardin family's secret tiramisu recipe, which she says ...never comes out quite as good as my mother-in-law's. Marie writes for various news outlets and travel media magazines, teaches English, and is currently working on a short story collection, and her next book. When Marie is not writing or traveling around Italy and Europe, she returns to her beloved California to visit family and friends, watch the sun set over the Pacific Ocean, and stop by her favorite Mexican mom and pop eateries. Marie lives in the Venetian countryside with her husband, their daughters, and their dog, Bacco.
