Bestselling author Gina Iafrate has announced that her latest romantic fiction novel, Love And Betrayal, is now available in print and ebook form at Amazon. This novel is the third in the Strong Women series, following The Professor's Daughter.
Love and Betrayal follows the emotional journey of Gracy, who believed she had found her true eternal love. However, later in her married life, this happiness turned disenchanting. Alvaro's promises of his vows, for better or for worse, in happiness and sorrow, until death do us part, had all changed. Fate delivered his unfaithfulness with pain and suffering. His behavior brought catastrophic consequences along the way, influenced by someone else's greed, jealousy, and revenge. Gracy's emotional journey of survival turned challenging.
Later in life, in solitude and despair, the universal bliss tested her with waves of courage. With the intervention of caring people, she finally found, once more, love, peace, and support. Her heart finally rejoiced in comfort once more until her terrestrial journey came to an end.
The Professor's Daughter is the sequel to her first award-winning book, The English Professor. Set in Italy, this romantic fiction novel allows readers to immerse themselves in the life of Gracy and her adventures in love and the trials and tribulations she faces. In this book, Gracy Robertson is the love child of an intense love affair. At birth she was taken from her dying mother and left in the care of the devastated Professor, her dad. Living in hiding for years, they managed to avoid the long reach of the corrupt mobsters who had taken her mother's life. Once the threat was gone, they believed that peace could return to their lives at the place where the professor's passion and love for her mother had resulted in Gracy's conception. Once there, just as a peaceful life and a sense of normalcy seem long lasting, the professor's life journey comes to an end. Gracy, grief stricken by the loss of her dad's love and his devotion, is challenged to overcome the heartache and the fogginess of her empty world. Her destiny once more takes her across the ocean where she finds love and affection. However, fate is not done with her, and it strikes with both people and difficult situations that threaten her peace of mind, her heart, and her life. These threats and dangers are appeased only when her heart finds its home in her denied lover's devotion.
