  Oamenii vin în Italia pentru două lucruri: love și gelato, i-a spus cineva odată. Dar uneori au parte de mult mai mult.

  Lina își petrece vacanța de vară în Toscana, dar nu pentru că ar fi fascinată de ținuturile însorite, ca de basm, ci pentru că a fost ultima dorință a mamei sale ca ea să vină aici să-și cunoască tatăl. Dar ce tată stă departe de familie timp de șaisprezece ani? Așa că tot ceea ce Lina vrea este să se întoarcă acasă.
Dar înainte de a-și pune în practică hotărârea, primește un jurnal pe care mama ei îl ținuse cât timp trăise în Italia. Dintr-odată, Lina descoperă o lume magică de iubiri ascunse, artă și brutării secrete, care o împinge, alături de foarte chipeșul Ren, pe urmele pașilor mamei sale și-i dezvăluie un secret ascuns de ea de prea multă vreme. Un secret care îi va schimba tot ceea ce știa despre mama ei, tatăl ei, și mai ales despre ea însăși.

Love & Gelato #1

Love & Luck

A New York Times bestseller From the author of the New York Times bestselling Love & Gelato comes a heartwarming tale of a road trip through Ireland filled with love, adventure, and the true meaning behind the word family. Addie is visiting Ireland for her aunt’s over-the-top destination wedding and hoping she can stop thinking about the one thing she did that left her miserable and heartbroken—and threatens her future. But her brother, Ian, isn’t about to let her forget, and his constant needling leads to arguments and even a fistfight between the two once inseparable siblings. Miserable, Addie can’t wait to visit her friend in Italy and leave her brother—and her problems—behind. So when Addie discovers an unusual guidebook, Ireland for the Heartbroken, hidden in the dusty shelves of the hotel library, she’s able to finally escape her anxious mind and Ian’s criticism. And then their travel plans change. Suddenly Addie finds herself on a whirlwind tour of the Emerald Isle, trapped in the world’s smallest vehicle with Ian and his admittedly cute, Irish-accented friend Rowan. As the trio journeys over breathtaking green hills, past countless castles, and through a number of fairy-tale forests, Addie hopes her guidebook will heal not only her broken heart, but also her shattered relationship with her brother. That is if they don’t get completely lost along the way.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Love & Gelato comes a poignant and romantic novel about two teens trying to find their place in the world after being unceremoniously dragged to Salem, Massachusetts, for the summer. Willow has never felt like she belonged anywhere and is convinced that the only way to find a true home is to travel the world. But her plans to act on her dream are put on hold when her aloof and often absent mother drags Willow to Salem, Massachusetts, to wrap up the affairs of an aunt Willow didn’t even know she had. An aunt who may or may not have been a witch. There, she meets Mason, a loner who’s always felt out of place and has been in and out of foster homes his entire life. He’s been classified as one of the runaways, constantly searching for ways to make it back to his mom; even if she can’t take care of him, it’s his job to try and take care of her. Isn’t it? Naturally pulled to one another, Willow and Mason set out across Salem to discover the secret past of Willow’s mother, her aunt, and the ambiguous history of her family. During all of this, the two can’t help but act on their natural connection. But with the amount of baggage between them—and Willow’s growing conviction her family might be cursed—can they manage to hold onto each other?

Spells for Lost Things

But then Lina is given a journal that her mom had kept when she lived in Italy. Suddenly Lina’s uncovering a magical world of secret romances, art, and hidden bakeries. A world that inspires Lina, along with the ever-so-charming Ren, to follow in her mother’s footsteps and unearth a secret that has been kept for far too long.

Amor & Sorte

Láska & gelato

Liefde & gelato

A New York Times Bestseller From the New York Times bestselling author of Love & Gelato comes a Mamma Mia!–inspired tale about a teen girl finding romance while trying to connect with her absent father in beautiful Santorini, Greece. Liv Varanakis doesn’t have a lot of fond memories of her father, which makes sense—he fled to Greece when she was only eight. What Liv does remember, though, is their shared love for Greek myths and the lost city of Atlantis. So when Liv suddenly receives a postcard from her father explaining that National Geographic is funding a documentary about his theories on Atlantis—and will she fly out to Greece and help?—Liv jumps at the opportunity. But when she arrives to gorgeous Santorini, things are a little…awkward. There are so many questions, so many emotions that flood to the surface after seeing her father for the first time in years. And yet Liv doesn’t want their past to get in the way of a possible reconciliation. She also definitely doesn’t want Theo—her father’s charismatic so-called “protégé”—to witness her struggle. And that means diving into all that Santorini has to offer—the beautiful sunsets, the turquoise water, the hidden caves, and the delicious cuisine. But not everything on the Greek island is as perfect as it seems. Because as Liv slowly begins to discover, her father may not have invited her to Greece for Atlantis, but for something much more important.

Love & Olives

Da autora do best-seller Amor & gelato, uma viagem inesquecível pela ilha de Santorini O que a lenda de uma cidade submersa tem a ver com a vida de uma adolescente? No caso da greco-americana Liv Varanakis, a resposta é tudo. Quando era pequena, Liv e seu pai passavam horas tentando descobrir a localização de Atlântida, mas, desde que ele foi embora sem explicação, ela evita pensar na cidade perdida a todo custo. Com dezessete anos, Liv tem uma nova vida, um novo namorado e está muito bem, obrigada. Até que um cartão-postal amassado chega de Santorini e faz seus planos irem por água abaixo. Nele, seu pai explica que está gravando um documentário a respeito de Atlântida e que mandou uma passagem de avião para Liv ir até a Grécia ajudá-lo. Agora, ela terá que deixar para trás tudo que construiu e embarcar rumo ao desconhecido. O reencontro dos dois traz à tona milhares de perguntas e emoções, e, para piorar, Theo, o assistente charmoso de seu pai, insiste em filmar esses momentos constrangedores. Pelo menos Liv pode aproveitar a ilha paradisíaca, com seu pôr do sol magnífico, a água turquesa, as casinhas brancas e a culinária deliciosa. Porém, com o passar dos dias, a garota começa a desconfiar de que não foi Atlântida que a trouxe até ali, e sim algo muito mais importante. Com mais de 105 mil exemplares vendidos no Brasil, as histórias de Jenna Evans Welch trazem protagonistas que desbravam o mundo em uma verdadeira jornada de amadurecimento, com direito a segredos de família e romances inesquecíveis. Após conquistar corações com Amor & gelato, que se passa na Itália, e Amor & sorte, que explora a Irlanda, é a vez de nos apaixonarmos por uma ilha grega repleta de mistérios em Amor & azeitonas.

Amor & Azeitonas

From New York Times bestselling author Jenna Evans Welch comes a boxed set of three romances set in the beautiful countrysides of Italy, Ireland, and Greece about life, love, and the true meaning of family. Teen girls find themselves—and maybe even true love—while visiting faraway places in these charming and swoon-worthy books. In Love & Gelato, Lina reluctantly fulfills her mother’s dying wish by traveling to Florence to spend the summer with the birth father she never met. When she finds her mother’s old journal, the summer becomes about discovering the landscape through her mother’s eyes. With her new friend, Ren, as her travel companion, Lina discovers unexpected things about her late mother, her real father, and herself. Addie visits Ireland for her aunt’s over-the-top destination wedding in Love & Luck. She’s hoping the distance from home will help her forget the mistake she made that left her miserable and alienated from her brother. And when she discovers the unusual guidebook Ireland for the Heartbroken, Addie finds herself on a whirlwind tour of the Emerald Isle with her brother and his Irish friend, Rowan. As the trio journeys over breathtaking green hills, past countless castles, and through a number of fairy tale forests, Addie hopes her guidebook will heal not only her broken heart, but also her shattered relationship with her brother. In Love & Olives, Evie goes to Greece to reconnect with her father who left her when she was only eight, and help him with his documentary about the lost city of Atlantis, an interest they’ve always shared. Evie struggles to keep her questions and resentments at bay while exploring stunning Santorini—the turquoise water, the hidden caves, and the rich history—with her father’s research assistant, Theo, at her side. But soon it becomes clear that the documentary isn’t what it seems and Evie’s father may have invited her to Greece for something much more important.
