"A delightful story of love, passion, and appetite, filled with
Italian vivacity and charm." -Anthony Capella, international
bestselling author of The Food of Love and The Wedding Officer Art
restorer Emily Price has never encountered anything she can't
fix-until she meets Ben, an Italian chef, who seems just right. But
when Emily follows Ben home to Italy, she learns that his family is
another matter. Emily Price-fix-it girl extraordinaire and would-be
artist-dreams of having a gallery show of her own. There is no time
for distractions, especially not the ultimate distraction of
falling in love. But Chef Benito Vassallo's relentless pursuit
proves hard to resist. Visiting from Italy, Ben works to breathe
new life into his aunt and uncle's faded restaurant, Piccollo. Soon
after their first meeting, he works to win Emily as well-inviting
her into his world and into his heart. Emily astonishes everyone
when she accepts Ben's proposal and follows him home. But instead
of allowing the land, culture, and people of Monterello to
transform her, Emily interferes with everyone and everything around
her, alienating Ben's tightly knit family. Only Ben's father,
Lucio, gives Emily the understanding she needs to lay down her
guard. Soon, Emily's life and art begin to blossom, and Italy's
beauty and rhythm take hold of her spirit. Yet when she unearths
long-buried family secrets, Emily wonders if she really fits into
Ben's world. Will the joys of Italy become just a memory, or will
Emily share in the freedom and grace that her life with Ben has
shown her are possible? "A Portrait of Emily Price is a portrait of
grace and love. Reay expertly weaves a story rich in taste and
sight, wrapping it all with sigh-worthy romance. You'll think of
Emily and Ben and the hills of Italy long after you've read the
last page. Reay is carving her name among the literary greats."
