2nd book completed for the First Reads Challenger.  I am uncertain if this author is indie.

'Holiday in Bologna'  - 3/5 stars 1st read by this author. . . certainly not all hearts and roses but a story line that I could follow. I would have read more to see if this is an author I wish to continue to follow.

Poor Heidi was out to reconnect to a family she did not know, but was drawn into a family free fall. Free fall to what exactly. There is a different kind of family dynamic in this one.

Holiday in Bologna by Lindsay Townsend . . . Heidi Manelli, a bright, lively Anglo-Italian, arrives in Italy on a mission. A letter given to her on her 21st birthday revealed that her real name is Soleari and she has family living in Bologna. Orphaned, she is unsure how her estranged relatives will receive her. Standing outside the Soleari villa, she encounters the quietly charismatic yet aloof Stefano. He's suspicious of her sudden appearance and disinclined to believe who she is. After pleading from her aunt, Heidi reluctantly agrees to stay at the villa, where she swiftly discovers more mysteries, and danger. She turns to Stefano for help, but will he come through? Is their developing relationship a holiday romance, or something deeper? Is her holiday in Bologna going to change her life forever?
