This is a story of love, loss, discovery and the belief in second chances. 2012 - Gaynor McGregor is a recent widow of 65 years young who feels she is on the scrap heap of life. She is in a very lonely and confused place and her world has come crashing down around her until the day the solicitors letter arrives with news that turns her life round forever. 1501 Lucia Molinari has been married by proxy to a captain in the Venetian Guard but she is in love with Mateo. On her way to Venice she is kidnapped and spirited away so she can spend her life with Mateo or so she thought. The common denominator between the two women is Villa Visconti and the journey travelled whereby Gaynor finds herself again, understands her loss, and learns to move on and to begin life again.
I have lived in East Anglia all my life. I was married to David for 45 years, with two daughters and 5 grandchildren, but when he passed away in 2011 my life changed completely. Having a background in historical research and construction, I retired and turned my attention to writing stories. I have now published 3 novels, 1 novella and a book of poetry.
