Gaia Sartori is supposed to marry. Unfortunately, rather sooner than later. After her father's death, her family's farm, Sunny Grove, needs a new leader—a man.
Never mind that Gaia can fire a hunting rifle and hit any game, even at a distance that makes guys sweat. It's not enough, her mother says. Though it's 1962, in her small town in Southern Italy, two women living alone on a ranch aren’t safe.
But Gaia's got her own ideas.
She enjoys taking care of their homestead. Alone. She certainly isn't interested in the wealthy gaffers her mother tries to fix her up with or in marrying in general.
Or at least she wasn't, until one day, she bumps into a mysterious stranger...
Cheeky Words & Lucky Stars is a prequel to the CIRELLA BAY series, a clean contemporary romance series full of mystery and suspense. This story can be enjoyed on its own as a quick read, as a starter to the series, or as a fun in-between of the books in the series.
Besides writing sweet, heartwarming romance stories and suspenseful romantic reads, Agnes is also a psychologist, thus obsessed with understanding what makes people tick, especially when it comes to love.
She may or may not have a desperate obsession with chocolate — the darker the better—, green smoothies (kale cancels out the vice for sweets, right?), and strong Italian espresso (she lived too long in Rome to not pick up this habit.)
Without a shadow of a doubt, her most precious thing in life is her family and her two little monkeys (who start to not be so little anymore.) Agnes has lived in many countries following her hubby's crazy career move, but right now, she's settled in Germany. She loves traveling and being outdoors but it doesn't mean that you can't tempt her with a good read and a cozy blanket anytime... especially if you've also got that famous Italian cuppa with you…
