I read To Love Again by Danielle Steel for more than 90 minutes; I had to finish the chapter.
We come back into the story with the funeral of Amadeo. There are many people and a police escort as Amadeo San Gregorio was a very talented and famous in the world of fashion.
Bernardo suggests Isabella and Alessandro go to the states to get away from the pain of Rome and Amadeo's death.
Isabella and Alessandro have round the clock body guards because of threats and prank phone calls she has been receiving.
She returns to work full force feeling the need to take Amadeo's place. She won't even let Bernardo help as much.
Life goes on day by day with the routine of Isabella going to work with her body guards while Alessandro is at home with his and not even allowed to go to school.
Bernardo spends Christmas with Isabella and Alessandro. During this time, Bernardo states his undying love for Isabella. He tells her he has always loved her and would like to be a husband and father to her and Alessandro. She lets him know that they will always be friends but she still love Amadeo.
With the work load of the business, Bernardo tries to talk Isabella into selling the business and getting away with the boy. They need time together to heal and they need to be safe. Bernardo suggests again that they go to the states. Isabella is dead set against selling or leaving Rome.
Isabella was still getting prank phone calls and one day in the office she received the worst. The caller told her that he had Alessandro. She was hysterical with fear and she, Bernardo, and the guards rushed home as they could not get through on the phone. When they arrived, Alessandro and his nanny were nowhere to be found. Isabella was still in a panic when they arrived a short time later from a walk. She could no longer take the stress or the fear of something happening to her son. She decides to secretly take her son to New York to stay with her best friend and old roommate. All of this was to be done in secret for safety purposes.
Bernardo and Isabella get business in order as she is going to work in New York.
Secretly, Isabella, Alessandro, Bernardo, and the security guards sneak out of Rome to France. After arriving in France, Isabella and Alessandro along with a new set of guards takes a flight to London. From London, they all fly to New York.
Isabella and Alessandro leave the airport with her best friend Natasha to start their new secret life.

I am an avid reader of Danielle Steel so of course my first book I chose to read is To Love Again. The book is set in Rome with two very famous fashion designers, Isabella and Amadeo SanGregorio. Isabella comes from a fashion design family in Paris when she marries and joins Amadeo. They are very famous and very wealthy people in Rome and respected by everyone that knows them. They also have a four year old son Alessandro who is mostly raised by his nanny.
Isabella and Amadeo are working together in their fashion design business with the second hand man Bernardo.
Amadeo is very generous to Isabella and showers her with fine jewelry. Bernardo is worried about them flaunting their wealth as it could cause them to be victims of kidnapping. Sad to say but, Bernardo is right.
Isabella has left to go to lunch and Amadeo is lured from the building by two men that say they have hit his car. Amadeo goes outside to see the damage and is kidnapped.
Isabella can't figure out where her husband is that evening as they are late for a dinner party. Later in the evening, she receives a call from the kidnappers demanding 10 million dollars and for her not to call the police.
Bernardo talks her into calling the police and they are supposed to wait through the weekend and pay the money on Tuesday. All the assets have been frozen by the police so Isabella takes her jewelry to a friend (a jeweler) to sell for cash. An employee of the jeweler leaks it to the press that she has sold her jewelry. The kidnappers find out and call off the deal. Amadeo is found dead the day.
