Book excerpt: Welcome to a world of intrigue of the most intriguing kind, where emperors and popes desperately vie for power, even as their subjects and servants engage in behind-the-scenes machinations of their own. The Holy Roman Empire circa 1200 A.D. Impoverished young knight Willem of Dole believed he would spend his life in rural Burgundy, struggling to provide for his widowed mother and younger sister, Lienor. And so it's with surprise—and apprehension—that he obeys a summons to the magnificent court of Konrad, Holy Roman Emperor, whose realm spans half of Europe. Willem's mischievous friend Jouglet, Konrad's favorite minstrel, is no doubt behind it somehow . . . but what's in it for Jouglet? Court life is overwhelming to the idealistic young Willem, who is shocked by the behavior of his fellow knights, for whom chivalry is a mere game. Yet under Jouglet's witty, relentless tutelage, the naïve knight quickly rises in Emperor Konrad's esteem—until suddenly his sister, Lienor, becomes a prospect for the role of Empress. This unexpected elevation of the sibling "nobodies" delights Jouglet, but threatens three powerful—and dangerous—men at the court: the Emperor's brother, Cardinal Paul, who has in mind a different bride for Konrad; the Emperor's uncle, Alphonse, Count of Burgundy, who would keep secret certain things that only Willem can reveal; and most especially the Emperor's own steward Marcus, who is hopelessly in love with Konrad's cousin Imogen. For if Willem's star keeps rising, Imogen will be betrothed to the knight by royal decree—and Willem's star will surely continue to rise, unless Marcus figures out a way to stop it. But that would entail outscheming clever Jouglet, ablest of schemers. Gossip, secrets, and lies are the fuel of daily life in Konrad's court. As Konrad edges closer to proclaiming Lienor his bride, those around Willem play a perilous game of cat-and-mouse as they attempt to secure their own fortunes, knowing that even the slightest move can shift the playing field entirely. And through it all, Jouglet remains Willem's most maddening yet staunchest ally. But what, really, does Jouglet stand to gain . . . or lose? Transporting the reader to the brilliant, conniving heart of the largest empire of medieval Europe, Revenge of the Rose is a novel rich in irony and tongue-in-cheek wit, and reveals all the grit and color, politics and passion, of court life in the Holy Roman Empire.

Greed, lust, envy and wrath emerge from the darkness, hurling them into a cataclysmic turn of events In a small city, Northeast of Milan, at the end of WWII, Rosario Beretta gazes over the rolling hills of his vineyard. Twenty-five years ago, he would have never believed how grand his life had become.

With Sofia's hand came the acres sprawling before him, the best wine, six wonderful children and a wealth beyond his dreams. Yes, life is almost perfect, until Rosario decides to expand his business. What Rosario doesn't know is how this decision will affect the ones he loved. Don Salvatore, the most powerful man in Brusnengo, Italy, sits in his courtyard, feeding pigeons and grumbling about what is not his. Jealousy and anger brew a bitter tea and nothing will satisfy him except to take Beretta Vineyards under his control. In order for The Don to own the estate, he must kill Rosario and those who stand in the way. An outright attack of such a righteous and humble man would cause the town to revolt against him. The Don laments the situation until fortune brings a ghost from the past to his door. The new alliance provides Don Salvatore an alternate plan of destruction to secure the treasured land. Angelina Beretta is the eldest daughter and middle child of Rosario and Sophia. She, her brothers and her younger sister Catalina work for their parents on the vineyard.

When powerful men collide, blood is spilled and families are crushed. In a chess match for victory, the Beretta family will be tested beyond imagination. From passionate sex to graphic murders, The Italian Rose is a roller coaster of events that tear them apart.
