    About this ebook

    Melissa Morris is living the Good Life in New York until she gets laid off. She's thrust into the Manhattan abyss, aimless and desperate and deciding the only thing to do is marry. She flies to Rome to track down her errant boyfriend, hoping that he can save her, but on her way to meet him she's arrested for murder.

    Who will save Melissa now? Marriage? Sex? Or something even more surprising? When Melissa sets out to find the real killer, she discovers an underside to Rome, and herself, she never imagined.

    -Amy Klein, The Modern Jewish Girl's Guide to Guilt

    - Barbara Nadel, Author of the Cetin Ikmen and the Francis H series

    "I dare you not to fall in love with Jasmine Schwartz's Melissa Morris..."
    -Tania Hershman, author of My Mother Was An Upright Piano: Fictions
