Roxy Jewell is a traveling American romance novelist who finds passion and illustrious grandeur in everything she sees. The moment she left her Southern hometown, she knew she needed to experience everything—that she could leave nothing untouched. She's been in love more times than she can count: with men from Italy, Greece, the United States, and Australia, and she finds fascination in the difference between romantic cultures. She's worked as a cruise boat concierge in the Greek isles; she's spent more evenings gazing at the Eiffel Tower in the Champs de Mar park with a glass of champagne than she can count. Her life is a series of romantic mishaps, of delicious food, and of delightful—and occasionally dramatic—experiences.
