Nat is the owner of a bookstore and an entrepreneur of characters, who has placed himself on a lonely island, with his grief-stricken memory of what happened to his one true love.

Only acceptance of the past will bring the two together. But can Jane and Nat let go of what they are holding close to their hearts? Are they willing to give love another chance?

The Italian Castle Affair is a sinister and humorous concoction of secrets, betrayal, revenge and murder.
