Hotel Portofino: A Novel

A captivating tale of love, loss, and redemption set against the backdrop of the Italian Riviera

In the summer of 1926, the sun-drenched Italian Riviera is a playground for the rich and famous. But for the inhabitants of the Hotel Portofino, life is not always as glamorous as it seems.

Bella Ainsworth, the young and beautiful daughter of the hotel's owner, is torn between her love for two very different men. Count Carlo Albani is a charming and aristocratic Italian, while Cecil Massinger is a wealthy and powerful Englishman. Bella must choose between the man she loves and the man who can provide her with the security she craves.

Meanwhile, the hotel is also home to a cast of other colorful characters, including:

  • Lady Latchmere, a wealthy and eccentric dowager who is always looking for a good time
  • Mr. Pelham, a retired English colonel who is trying to escape his past
  • Miss Lucy Campbell, a young and naive English girl who is looking for adventure
  • Signor Danioni, the hotel's enigmatic and charming head waiter

As the summer progresses, the lives of these characters become intertwined in a web of love, loss, and betrayal. And as the secrets of the past are revealed, the Hotel Portofino will never be the same again.
