One Summer In Italy is the latest novel from author Victoria Springfield to be published via Boldwood Books.
A return to Venice. A friendship rekindled. A time for romance.
Natalie’s landed the opportunity of a lifetime hosting television show ‘Luxe Life Swap’, but she’s dreading going back to Venice, scene of the school trip that changed her life. The beauty of the floating city and handsome watch restorer Eraldo begin to win her over, however. But then glamorous contestant Cate arrives, the girl who was once plain, ordinary Cathy – the ex-best friend Natalie blames for the night that wrecked her life.
Cate’s swapping The Old Vicarage for two weeks in a Venetian palazzo, hoping she might pluck up the courage to go on the quest she’s been putting off for more than twenty years. Forced to spend time with Natalie, Cate hopes to rebuild their friendship – until Natalie makes a shocking accusation against Cate’s husband. Cate needs to find out the truth but how can she expect Phil to be honest when she’s keeping secrets of her own?
Victoria Springfield’s One Summer in Italy is a beautifully woven tale of second chances, simmering romance, and the complicated bonds of friendship — all set against the irresistible backdrop of Venice in the summertime. With equal parts warmth, intrigue, and emotional depth, this novel offers a feel-good escape with just enough tension to keep the pages turning.
Victoria excels at capturing the magic of Italy — the glistening canals, sun-dappled piazzas, and irresistible food all leap off the page. But it’s the emotional journeys of Natalie and Cate that truly anchor the story. Their dynamic is layered, shifting between resentment, misunderstanding, and a yearning for closure.
A heartwarming story of forgiveness, rediscovery, and the enduring power of friendship — all wrapped in the romance of a Venetian summer.
