Velvet in Venice. The Coin of Love, #1

The Coin of Love Series: Women are gifted the magic they need to find the love they deserve. Artie Bryson came to Venice to finish her PhD. Five years later the PhD still isn't done, but life is okay. Leading guided tours of the magnificent city pays the bills. The days are all the same - until she seeks respite from the summer swelter in the Casino di Venezia cabaret. Nikki Velvet has finally found her musical niche singing Postcards from America in a solo tour across Europe.
Her bluesy, jazzy, sultry voice brings Artie back the next night. And the next. The two Americans find they have a lot in common, but Nicki's gig in Venice ends in two short weeks. Not long enough for anything more than a bit of fun, right? One very old coin knows otherwise... Welcome to Venice, a city like no other, where a touch of old magic can create a new future. Stories in this series can be read in any order.
