Bestselling author Gina Iafrate has announced the release of her latest romantic fiction novel, Love And Betrayal, now available in print and ebook form at Amazon. This is the third installment in her Strong Women series, following The Professor's Daughter.
The story centers on Gracy, who initially believes she has found eternal love with Alvaro. However, her married life takes a disenchanting turn as Alvaro's vows crumble under the weight of unfaithfulness, influenced by greed, jealousy, and revenge. Gracy's emotional journey of survival becomes challenging as she navigates pain and suffering. Later, in solitude and despair, she finds courage and, with the intervention of caring people, rediscovers love, peace, and support before her terrestrial journey ends.
The Professor's Daughter, the sequel to Iafrate's award-winning The English Professor, is set in Italy and immerses readers in Gracy's life and adventures. In that book, Gracy Robertson is the love child of an intense affair, taken from her dying mother and raised by her devastated father. After years in hiding from corrupt mobsters, they seek peace, but the professor's life ends, leaving Gracy grief-stricken. Her destiny takes her across the ocean where she finds love, but fate strikes again with threats that are appeased only when her heart finds its home in her denied lover's devotion.
Iafrate's Strong Women series features romantic fiction novels with characters who overcome staggering odds to build model lives. Her sweeping family sagas transport readers globally, with layered narratives and dramatic movements. In the tradition of writers like Nicholas Sparks and John Grisham, her storylines reveal the richness of human experience through finely drawn characters and rich descriptions of exotic places.
Other books in the series include The Girl From The Cornfield, set in 1950s Italy, where Giuliana Ferrante rises above a vicious attack through education and kindness; The English Professor, where an introverted professor's infatuation in Sicily leads to a child and dangerous consequences; and Bestowed By Love And Splendour, about a broken-hearted wife who finds peace on Sardinia. Iafrate is also author of Releases From My Soul, a collection of anthologies blending true stories and imagination. She is currently working on her seventh novel, The Shoeless Boy.
