Reading them makes Sammi recall whispers she heard in childhood of her grandmother\u2019s wartime involvement, a past that Sammi&#8217;s father and aunt would rather see remain closed. As if things couldn&#8217;t get any worse, her long-time boyfriend, Hunter, dumps her. However, an opportunity arises that sends her to Italy to defend her grandmother, even if the truth might shatter all she believes. In a helpful twist, Joseph, her best friend\u2019s Italian cousin, offers to help her. Despite the obvious growing attraction between Joseph and her, she tries to suppress it as she embarks on her mission to vindicate the grandmother she loves.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n<h3 align=\"center\"><strong>TOUR PARTICIPANTS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>February 2:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/draft.blogger.com\/blog\/post\/edit\/6965626878172492534\/6544245145445107223#\" data-original-attrs=\"{&quot;data-original-href&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.romancenovelgiveaways.com\/2026\/02\/letters-from-lucca-by-kim-baccellia-fun.html&quot;}\">Romance Novel Giveaways<\/a><br \/>\nFebruary 3:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/draft.blogger.com\/blog\/post\/edit\/6965626878172492534\/6544245145445107223#\" data-original-attrs=\"{&quot;data-original-href&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.ellwynautumn.com\/ellwyn-autumns-blog\/&quot;}\">Ellwyn&#8217;s Blog<\/a><br \/>\nFebruary 4:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/draft.blogger.com\/blog\/post\/edit\/6965626878172492534\/6544245145445107223#\" data-original-attrs=\"{&quot;data-original-href&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/sandrasbookclub.blogspot.com\/&quot;}\">Sandra&#8217;s Book Club<\/a><br \/>\nFebruary 5:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/draft.blogger.com\/blog\/post\/edit\/6965626878172492534\/6544245145445107223#\" data-original-attrs=\"{&quot;data-original-href&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/punyareviews.blogspot.com\/&quot;}\">Punya Reviews&#8230;<\/a><br \/>\nFebruary 5:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/draft.blogger.com\/blog\/post\/edit\/6965626878172492534\/6544245145445107223#\" data-original-attrs=\"{&quot;data-original-href&quot;:&quot;http:\/\/www.karenjmossman.com&quot;}\">Karen J.
