What you need to know before your trail

Beth loves everything about living in Venice. The meandering canals and the cobbled street have captured her heart, so when she loses her job and fears she’ll have to return to England, she’s devastated.

Until she stumbles upon a book barge for sale, it seems like fate. Beth has long harboured a dream of opening a specialised bookshop that combines her two passions: art and books. She just needs to be brave enough to take a chance, and maybe a little help from a local.

Enter Marco, a gorgeous, passionate local art promoter, and their chemistry is instant and electric. Beth needs Marco’s local knowledge to launch her business, but as they work together, both seem determined to ignore the sparks flying between them.

The closer they become, the more their attraction grows. Soon, they will have to choose – face their fears and give love a chance – or walk away forever.

Travel Guide

Venice

If ever there was a place perfect for a book barge, then this is it. The fictional title of the barge is La Libreria della Parole which translates as the bookshop of words. Now that is a book shop/barge I would want to visit for real!

Will someone please read this book and then build the boat. Thanks!
