Venetian Love Knots
by Normandie Alleman
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Venice, Allison
Fox will find love in the arms of two men. Her past collides with her future in
a battle for her heart. Which one will win?
Travelling to Venice to be the maid of honour in
her best friend’s wedding sounds like a great vacation, and a romantic way to
spend Valentine’s Day. But when Allison Fox discovers who the best man is, she
is torn between duty and self-preservation.
It has taken Allison four years to put her tumultuous
relationship with the rodeo cowboy behind her after a violent incident ripped
them apart. Now Allison must find a way to face her past and find closure with
her old flame. But will she be able to put the past behind her?
Cole is the Texas cowboy who has never got over his
love for Allison. But when he declares his love for her after all this time, is
she strong enough to walk away from the intense passion they share?
For years Nico, a handsome Italian, was committed
to nothing but his work. Nico never expected he would meet an American beauty
who would awaken in him a desire to love again. Once he finds her, Nico vows to
never let Allison go.
It will be a Valentine’s Day to remember, but who
will win Allison’s heart?

Allison held her plastic cup in a death grip as she
absently rattled the ice cubes in it. She stared out of the bubble-shaped
window on her flight to Rome. The vodka had done little to calm her nerves.
Neither People, Cosmo, nor Vogue had been any help distracting her. Allison’s
mind was determined to go back to the one man who had caused her more pain and
heartache than she had ever known. The man whom she would soon see for the
first time in four years.
She bit her lip and shut her eyes tightly. Allison
remembered the day her best friend Marcia had told her that she was getting
married in Venice the week of Valentine’s Day. Marcia had asked her to be her
maid of honour and Allison had immediately jumped at the chance. She loved to
travel, and she wanted to be there for Marcia.
A couple of weeks later, Allison had just walked
into her apartment when she’d got a call from Marcia. “Allie, honey, it’s me,
Marsh. Are you sitting down? I need you to sit down.”
Allison had set her groceries down on the floor and
sat.
“Honey, Alfonso has gotten Cole to agree to be his
best man,” she’d said.
Marcia’s announcement had been met with complete
silence.
“Allison? You still there?” Marcia had asked.
Cole. For years Allison had prayed for indifference
towards Cole. She had hated him for years. What she felt for Cole was either
unmitigated passion or hate. She didn’t know any in between. And what she had
wound up craving was indifference. The last time she’d seen him, four years
ago, what she had prayed for, what she had begged God for, was to feel
indifference towards him. He had almost ruined her life.
